aol mac code

After a few lengthy and costly phone calls aol have agreed to give me a mac code. They will send it by email within 48 hours. Is it right that I have to wait this long or does anyone know if they can provide it immediately.
They took my signature away!!!! :confused:

    They can take up to 48 hours to generate..allegedly. However; I've received mine from Pipex recently well within 24 hours, mind you, I had complained big time regarding previous mistakes they made proir to this

    BT Broadband gave me one of the phone.

    Funnily enough the line was going to AOL :)

    They said "within" to cover themselves, but they do send them much earlier - you should have received it by now.

    Still waiting for orange to send my dads after 12 days. A pathetic excuse of 'it was lost in transit'

    I got one from Nildram within 3 minutes recently, made me almost feel guilty about leaving. Might just be heading back there now with the AOL takeover by CPW.

    they only take about 10 secs to generate a mac code, depends on how many internal depts their advisors have to go through to obtain/request it
