Guide to Switching Broadband Suppliers
Summary:
As an advanced broadband user, staying updated on the latest developments in the industry is crucial. If your current contract is ending, consider switching to a provider that better meets your needs.
Switching providers should be a regular practice for savvy broadband users. By now, your experience has likely made you an advanced user, and you can confidently seek out a provider that aligns with your current requirements. As you did when you first subscribed, identify your broadband needs before comparing providers and their packages.
Changing providers can save you money and offer better speed, download limits, and overall service. Familiarize yourself with key terms like the Migration Authority Code (MAC) to ensure a smooth transition.
What is a MAC?
The Migration Authority Code (MAC) is part of a practice designed to streamline the migration process. Your current provider supplies this code, allowing the new provider to transfer your service without major disruptions. With the MAC, you can switch providers easily and without interruption to your broadband.
It's important not to terminate your contract prematurely. The MAC system facilitates a hassle-free switch.
Switching Between Cable and ADSL
Switching technologies, such as moving from cable to ADSL, requires ending your current service and starting anew. Confirm the termination date to avoid overlapping services and unnecessary charges. Switching to ADSL also requires a phone line and a compatible local exchange, so verify these before proceeding.
How Long Does the Switch Take?
Typically, changing providers takes about a week, though this can vary. Confirm the transfer date with your new provider, and ensure they handle the necessary steps to avoid double billing from your old provider.
Steps for Switching:
1. Research extensively to find a package that matches your needs.
2. Notify your current provider of your intention to terminate service and request your MAC code. Be prepared for retention offers.
3. Do not immediately terminate your current service, especially if switching between ADSL providers.
4. Once you've chosen a new provider, submit the MAC code to start your new service.
5. Ensure there is no overlap in billing between the old and new services.
