Yes, although you should be aware of the following:

  • Business to Residential: you must be out of contract or willing to settle the remainder of your current contract
  • Residential to Business: would enter you into a new 12 or 24 month contract

To request this, choose the appropriate option from the following Help Assistant path:

Help Assistant > Customer Services & Billing > Account Management > Change or Upgrade Your Product

In the ticket we'll need you to confirm:

Business to Residential

  • You're no longer using your account for business purposes
  • If you're under currently under contract, that you're happy to pay this off

Residential to Business

  • Your company name and reasons as to why you require a business service
