Of course not -- unless you'd paid the entire 18 months line rental up
front -- in which (unlikely) case you'd be an unsecured creditor and
you'd join the long list of other unsecured people/companies who
wouldn't get paid... much like if the OP's 'friend' went brankrupt,
Three would be unlikely to get a penny.

All hypothetical of course, since you don't pay for 18 months up-
front, and any telco that was going bust would likely be snapped up by
a competitor for either its customers and/or infrastructure.

==============

But the provider doesn't warrant that they'll be around in 18 months either.
There's no provision for a "cancellation fee" from them if they're no longer
able to provide the service, right?
