Thanks BenMcr

A couple of additional questions if I may...

Since my box has as yet not received a signal from the network to de-activate it, as the cable was cut in the street, would it work if I say..took it over to a friend's house that has cable?
Or is it likely to receive the signal de-activating it as soon as it is connected to the network again?

I was thinking that I could possibly take it to a friend's place and if it works normally I could then archive what I want to keep off it. But that would be no good if the signal to deactivate it comes down the cable as soon as I connect it up.

On another note - they have agreed to wait for a week or so before cancelling my account to give me enough time to port my phone number to BT so I can keep the same number. They are still going to refund me back to the day the fault occurred. So if this is the case, would they not even have sent a signal de-activating my box yet, as technically my account is still active?

Thanks for your help.
