Cheers Mr d but it doesn't matter now, I rang BT and after 10 mins on hold apparently I failed the credit check! The half wit on the phone couldn't tell me why but when I asked if it had anything to do with my address she went quiet..... I moved in last November and there are nasty looking letters arriving for the previous occupant by the sackful !
A little annoying as they were keen enough to sign me up for broadband but hey ho.
