    MAC Code advice

    Asked my ISP for a MAC code monday, but still waiting. All they say is 'these things take time'... How long should it take for them to get me one?

    It varies - some ISP's send them almost instantly, whereas it took me nearly a month to get one from Bulldog.

    If you haven't heard anything by end of business today - I'd give them a quick nudge

    It really depends on what type of connection you have i.e IPStream OR Datastream.

    you have to force the issue though otherwise they will just delay sending it.
