Update - October 2008 | Ofcom

Ofcom amended General Condition 18 such that “Telephone number portability for consumers switching suppliers” would be achieved in under 2 hours. This has now been dropped as Ofcom lost a tribunal initiated by Vodafone (and joined in by the other big 3 GSM operators) which ruled Ofcom was acting unfairly.

This is a real shame as UKporting has now ceased too and the mobile operators can maintain their sluggish porting arrangements.
