They *shouldn't* change too much. But there are currently quite a lot of
companies here in the UK calling up clients to persuade them to switch
to another provider. If the client doesn't loud and clearly says "No
thank you" they'll be migrated and their number ported. They only find
out when someone digs up the road and breaks the PRI. Then they wonder
why BT can't help them. ;(
I wondered wether you do regular recovery tests. Like a firedrill, or
so.
