    Consumer Rights

    advised by LuckyNV and a few others on another forum, but need more specific details.
    Im with AOL, im thinking if moving to o2 or Be, however, AOL the ******** say they need to disconnect me to give me my MAC code, ive asked twice and same thing, they need to disconnect me (cancel the service) if i want to change provider.

    Ive been told that thats wrong doing, and ofcom or something has regulations which means that shouldnt happen, so, can someone help me? IO dont want to argue with them and turn out looking like a nut that knows nothing, so, what should i say to them if they try to disconnect me to give me my MAC code?

    Thanks <3

    From Ofcom ....

    You must first contact your existing service provider and ask them for a MAC. They have an obligation to give you one. You should not ask for your service to be stopped;

    Your existing service provider must provide the MAC to you within five working days. The MAC is valid for a period of 30 days from the date it is issued;

    Re: Consumer Rights

    Did your phone call go something like this?

    Common practice for AOL

    Get that MAC code and switch! They've no right to deny you one. It might take time as they say they generate the code, I got mine within hours though.
