    ... if you actually told BT to cancel the account - then you cannot get a MAC - cancelling would imply a full cease, which removes broadband off your line

    no other broadband company will be able to sign you up until the cease has gone through and your line is clear - this normally takes 2 weeks

    did you actually try using a non-BT supplied modem?


    if you were using a business broadband connection - then maybe you could do something - but since it appears you are using a home connection, technically you would be breaking their terms and conditions - which means BT would give you nothing
  • its now 11.31 and so far i've been on the phone to bt for 28 minutes

    ...either your watch is 6 minutes slow, or the time in the forum is 6 minutes fast...

    ... besides... how did you get from 11.31 being 28 minutes, to 11.36 being 35 minutes... in my book that should be 33 minutes...

    but do we really need a running commentry...
  • .... i have a mac code now after 6 hours on the phone to bt

    lol i think the difference in time was due to how long i took me to type my message once again apologies for the commentary ... im special i have a low post count :D;)
