2nd line for ADSL - HH conversion

Hello folks,

Sorry if this is long winded - somebody hopefully has been this way
though :-)

I'm trying to come up with the best way for me to convert from HH to
ADSL - I wish to keep my current two analogue numbers which means I will
need a second line once HH comes out. Ideally though I would like BB on
this second line (just one socket, no extensions etc) rather than my
current line line once returned to PSTN.

If I was to have a second line put in now (with a randon number) and
have ADSL enabled would there be any problems with my chosen ISP if this
number was then to have my second analgue number ported to it once HH
was taken out at a later date when I was up and running with BB ?

BT have no problem so they say with porting the number in once HH is
removed and it is "released" but would it be a problem to an ISP that
the original number the order was for changes ?

Thanks for any help.

If you change your number after you have DSL supplied on the line it
can lead to all sorts of problems, eventually leading to loss of DSL
service & you having to pay a install charge to get it re-connected.
I don't know (but I've got a few guesses) why this happens as nobody
has been able to explain it to me, but I've had first hand experience
with a few cases over the years DSL has been available in my area.

Assuming that you only want the second number for incoming calls why not
have BT callsign and then have the second number for that?
