I'll be changing address soon, so I have a similar inquiry.

I'd like to move to the new line, at the new address, but keep the
existing ISP account and hostname.

In my case, I'm told that it'll be a 10 day period. Anyway, it'll be a
major inconvenience.

Likewise.

I have Demon's definitive answer, which leaves me definitively confused.
The only thing I'm sure of is that BT are the source of the problem.
I doubt that's no news to anyone here...

If you are only doing a number change and not changing any other
details (billing account name / installation address details) etc,
then this will *not* affect your adsl service.
