    I'm going over to Plusnet who can't start my service until 23.12.11 now and they said they did'nt need a MAC code, however I'll request one anyway.

    Rest easy. Although TT will issue all sorts of dire warnings of what might happen ("you might need a new line/number" etc), Plusnet will do a seamless job. I migrated BB and phone to them from TT in October and there was 1½ hours downtime of the phone during the morning and BB was connected by 2100. No mac was required.

    Still waiting for my commission from Topcashback though...
  • Thanks, guys fingers crossed

    No Dire warning heres, as previously advised to the OP the new ISp will confirm the process and if a MAC is required.

    Hi Andi,

    The Migration should be on the same day.

    Hi Andi,

    If you join the Members Forum or tweet us @talktalkcare we can look inot this in more depth.

    We need to confirm if the order oringated form your new isp (a transfer order) or from TalkTalk (a cease order) to advise you further. If this is a transfer everythign will complete ok. However if there is a cease order from TT this will block the transfer and potentially lead to issues.

    We can check relevant security via twitter or the members forum that we are unable to do via MSE in order to look at this further.

    I'm assuming you mean the TT members forum, I've registered on there but have no idea where to start, there are so many threads , sorry I'm a real novice at this sort of thing.
