O2 Home Broadband, MAC Key and TopCashback

Hi,
First, just to let you all know, Topcashback is offering £50 for any O2 Home Broadband signups at the moment! (upped from £25 previously I checked)
By the way, I just requested for a MAC key from Plusnet today, and as I need to give them 30 days notice, I'll still be liable for another 30 days of the broadband fee.
What I did was sign up for O2 Broadband (through TopCashBack), but I did not enter the MAC key there - I am planning to wait for another 2 weeks before entering the MAC key in, so I will have the lowest 'overlapping' charging period.
I'll allow 2 weeks so that there should be ample time for O2 to migrate my services over.
Question: Will my 'delay' in giving the MAC key affect my TopCashBack offer, i.e. if O2 decides to withdraw/decrease the offer, will I be affected? Also, does anybody foresee any problems with what I'm planning to do?

Not sure about your cashback query but just to let you know I applied for O2 broadband on Friday 20 February and am switching from Sky.
The activation date I received yesterday from O2 is 2 March so its only taking just over a week for my switch.Cashback earned
Quidco : £858
Pigsback : £20 and a Beatles CD.0 -
The cashback is based on the date of signing up with o2, not the day you go live.0

Be careful how long you take.
Was told by customer services of 02 when i was thinking of signing up, that unless you complete the sign up completely within 21days - was having trouble getting Mac from pervoius Isp - they wipe incomplete signups from thier systems.The more I live, the more I learn.
The more I learn, the more I grow.
The more I grow, the more I see.
The more I see, the more I know.
The more I know, the more I see,
How little I know.!!
