I called up Telecom Saturday afternoon to move from Slingshot. I was advised that if I disconnect my existing number and opt for a new one, process is much quicker and a technician will be at my place in the next 4 hours to activate the new number and then it’s just a matter of few hours before the broadband gets activated on the new no.  I was advised to call Slingshot to disconnect existing line which I did straightaway.  Received a text from Telecom with a different home line number to what to was given on the phone. Called back to clarify, it seems number I was given belongs to someone else, chose another no and the person on the line said I was misinformed, keeping my number makes the move faster but it’s too late now and process will take 3-5 working days and there will be a downtime. Called Slingshot who said Telecom should have just taken over the line which is a much quicker process and there is no downtime.  So far, nothing has happened, Internet is still working with Slingshot but slower than dialup (capped). Hope someone from telecom can do something to make my move happen!!
