I didn`t ask for any Mac code at that time when I quit. Moved back to the UK 13 months later and I`m looking to use 02 as my new provider. Do I still need to get a MAC code…

Bulldog
I’d like to use this forum as an opportunity to vent my spleen about that pitiful excuse for a broadband provider, Bulldog, and warn other moneysavers who may be considering switching to them.

I migrated from Orange to O2 at the end of February. I've just discovered that Orange have taken another month's payment!

In the meantime you will have access to an 0845 number for dial-up internet access" Does this mean I will lose my current broadband (BT) for…
