Tiscali To Sky BB, A Few Q's..........

I want to cencel my tiscali broadband and transfer to the sky max 16mb. I rang tiscali and they have emailed me my MAC code.

I need to now ring up sky and order my BB. I have got a few questions......

Will there be a period where i will be without internet access?

How long will it take once i ring sky for my to be on Sky BB?

Tiscali told me i have to ring back to stop them billing me, what is this about?

Thanks for the help in advance!
Treat everyday as your last one on earth! and one day you will be right.

    If the migration goes smoothly (99% do) a few hours down time whilst they move your BB from Tiscali to Sky.

    Their lead times are probably a couple of weeks.

    They want you to inform them that you are ending the service with them 'a formal cancelation'.

    I think my monitor's running out of ink....

    It depends if either of the providers are using a LLU exchange. The recent rules regarding MAC's don't seem to cover LLU situations!

    If you want to have a browse http://packages.sky.com/ click on the find out more to see which package suits you. I am contemplating going for the MID broadband package which is 40gb limit a month.

    I am currently with NTL FREEDOM dial up (no cable in area) and have tahk unlimited and 2mb broadband £24.99 a month - excludes mobile calls 01870 etc.
    I have sky tv (2 mixes) £15.00 a month. Total £39.99 a month

    If I go for sky package and go for sky talk unlimited I shall have sky tv (6 mix) broadband 8mb, phone unlimited for £31.00.
