Just ask - I think they've got to give it to you. Mention my username
'imshepherd' if signing onto Plusnet. I migrated from OneTel to Plusnet
with only 10 minutes downtime. I just asked Onetel for the CBUK and they
provided it no question.

Hi Jason,

Provided you are on a Tiscali IPStream product, as supposed to a
Datastream one, this should go without a problem and they will give
you your CBUK. Remember though that the CBUK number on it's own is
only one requirement for a migration. The 'losing' ISP must authorise
the migration request once it has been made via the new ISP. That can
be the troublesome part sometimes...

Lots more info about migrations here:

And I haven't seen that very often - ISP tech support monitoring newsgroup.
I must say however that since I migrated, I have been very happy with their
service and support. Certainly their staff seem to know what they're
talking about far more than OneTel - and the other ISP I deal with BT - who
are hopeless !!! Good luck !

Almost everything about PlusNet IMHO is a breath of fresh air, compared
the the old dinosaur ISP's, where it seems change, innovation and
flexabilty are frowned upon. They deserve to be very sucessul. I
really hope they keep these qualities as they continue to grow.

I thought it was "opposed to" although I must confess I am guilty of
writing "supposed to" more times than I should have in the past.

I wrote to Tiscali twice asking for ma CBUK number and was ignored. I
then wrote to say I wanted to close my ADSL account and could I have
the CBUK number.
I heard nothing for 3 weeks and then one morning I found that the
account no longer worked. After many phone calls including some to
India they admitted that the account had been terminated and said if I
wanted it back I would have to sign up with them again and pay the
connection fee.
It also took them 4 weeks to tell BT to remove the ADSL and because of
that it was 5 weeks before Zen could open my new account.
After a 14 months on Tiscali broadband I cannot once say that I was
ever impressed with the service (connection OK but service rubbish)

I always welcome these posts - It won't change me, as I have a mental
block against using proper english sometimes. Must try harder!
