    You let BT know after you have migrated over to 02 and ask to cancel your account.:eek:

    Hi, i need some help. Anyone have experience switching from BT to O2?

    Does O2 notified BT Broadband that i had transferred over to them and canceled my account? or i have to cancel the BT Broadband myself when i got my O2 broadband? Thank you very much!:beer:

    it's the same as a mobile contract, you obtain the MAC from BT to then give O2 who then arrange for your connection to be un-bundled from BT, the use of the MAC will then serve to cancel your BT account subject to you being out of contract

    thanks, that looks really inconvenience.

    My contract ends on July 6th, do i have to get charged for 1 month in advance since my O2 activation date is 9th of June.

    Thanks again!:beer:

    Yes, It works well for me on the mobile but i have no experience on the landline. Normally i pay my BT Line Rental & Bt Broadband through cash. Do you think i should give them a call, but that looks inconvenience really as they keep persuade me for their product everytime i called.

    My contract ends on July 6th, do i have to get charged for 1 month in advance since my O2 activation date is 9th of June. :p

    Thanks again m8!

    You will have to pay up to the end of your contract.

    I know i have to pay until July 6th (end of contract), and the switch only done at June 9th. Do i have to pay them for the August as well since they need 30 days notice?

    thx
  • I went live at 4th June 6pm as promised
    this is my connection speed - very pleased as i am about 800 meters from the exchange :j

    Is a ping of 28 good?

    I have just tried to connect the wii it can find the THOMSON TG585v7 but it after clicking on "Search for an Access Point" it is asking for a password
    i have not changed the default setings yet - has anyone got an easy to follow guide?
    The computer came with a NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller but thats it-
    do i need to buy anything else

    i found a few guides but they didnt seem to help & my head has started hurting

    thanks in advance

    It sounds as if you haven't ended your contract as you originally posted:
    I know i have to pay until July 6th (end of contract)

    If you haven't yet given notice to end your contract, do so. You will have to pay until your contract ends (ie at the completion of the notice period).

    A Ping of 28 is excellent. I get around double that and have no problems.

    The password your Wii is searching for is probably the Wireless Access code password - which should be written on the inside of your Setup CD.

    Alternatively you can find this by connecting directly to the O2 Wireless Box and browsing to

    http://o2wirelessbox.lan/

    Then clicking on Home Network > Interfaces > WLAN

    You should see a box at the bottom with the code in it.

    I have been reading the posts on O2 Broadband. We can only get the Access package for £17.50. Is this as good a quality as their cheaper packages????

    Is anyone else on this package? Recommendation would be great, please?

    Thanks
