Tooj 17 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Jimbo - sorry to put you off tiscali but they were shite to me. ive a thread on that forum were i asked them to sort out a problem i had. after 6 months - they offered me a mac code! so i moved to virgin as they dont have a contract and let me download around 300gig per month. forgot about virgin. What do you do re modems etc ???? Basically, I would prefer just to go into IE and change my settings and phone number as it all works fine as it is ? Can you do this if you change to virgin ? And how much is it etc ? You'll need a thing called a MAC code first Leazes if you do migrate services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I warn you Jimbo if they put you straight on LLU the wait will be a very fucking long one. What does that mean ? It means if they're gonna shot you on the 8MB BB instead of the standard 2MB (all to do with the exchanges), anyways TalkTalk will be no use for you anyways Jimbo as I'm sure they only have a 40GB monthly limit.

They are legally obliged to give you this MAC code which you pass on to your new provider so the order goes through no problem, otherwise the order will come back rejected. Most people don't actually know about MAC codes are their existing provider tend not to tell them about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4ever 0 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 (edited) Tiscali actually went for years without issuing MAC codes, hence much of the resentment. To change you had to wait up to a month for BT to reactivate the line. The practice is now compulsary rather than optional.

gram 0 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I have used Virgin for years. Got a router, set it up and had no bother at all. Piss easy and decent service all round really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Hog 488 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 The Eclipse one looks pretty tempting. I'm with EFH broadband (1 meg unlimited for around £18 a month) and am looking to change, might give that Eclipse lot a ring and see if there is anything that makes it too good to be true.

smudger 0 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 We changed last month from NTL cable 3mb broadband to Sky Max ADSL 16mb. Costs us £10 a month as opposed to the NTL which was £24.99 The service was good from NTL but the customer service was really shite which is one of the main reasons we changed. So far Sky has been good although we haven't quite reached the 16mb speed yet (we're at 11.7mb at the moment) We've got their netgear router free which is pretty good (the signal has dropped out once so far) so no complaints from me so far. Still a bit early on for me to recommend them though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
