| Phone Number Changes |
This affects the majority of our customers.
UUnet are restructuring their network to allow for expansion and part of
this includes a change to new dial-up 0845 numbers. From the end September
the 0645 telephone numbers will no longer be available for dial-up
access.
If you are using a telephone discount scheme (such as BT Friends & Family)
this will also need to be updated.
How does this affect you?
