Being fed from more than one exchange is VERY rare.
Unless you were right on the edge of an exchange area and the next door
neighbour was in a difernet area, the underground cabling wouldnt exist to
facilitate it.
Are you sure you werent just on two different number ranges withing the
same
physical exchange building ?
eg 020 7aaa xxxx
020 7bbb xxxx
In the big cities there is often more than one exchange in a building as in
the days of the strowger "Director" exchanges (London, Brum,
Manchester,
L'pool, Glasgow, Edinburgh) there was a limit of 10000 lines (last 4 digits
0000-9999) on an exchange so the building many have housed 5 or 6
"exchanges"
