I feel like an adulterer...

I called Vodafone today to get PACs for our two mobile phones so that I can change to O2 and get (a) an iPhone, and (b) fast broadband. Sarah from Vodafone made a half-hearted attempt to interest me in a Blackberry Curve, but after the problems I've had with my current Blackberry, I wasn't interested. I should get the two PACs within 3-5 working days, and then the fun begins.

I will also need a MAC from BT to migrate my broadband over. I think I should call them and get that sent over (they're all good for a month, I gather) so that I can do the whole shebang at once. The want me to call and talk to someone, so I fear they'll try to put the hard sell on me. O2 says they can give me up to 16Mb download, while BT only gives me up to 8Mb, and that is sometimes slow.

My Vodafone contract is up on May 3rd, so that's the target date.

One does feel like one is cheating on a spouse when one changes telephone or broadband providers. I shouldn't, but I've been with BT ever since I was only getting dialup 512kb and with Vodafone for over 10 years. But, all good things come to an end, hopefully for better things to come.

My O2 box reports 10Mb/s speeds consistently on my 16Mb/s plan. And you get the bundling discount this way as well. After the crappy products and expensive I have used over the years in the US, this service is the best utility I have ever had.
