Switching Broadband Providers

Switching Broadband Providers
Essential Information
The speed of broadband services continues to rise and the
cost continues to fall. So, it can happen that the amazing
deal you got six months ago is suddenly not that great any
more. But with a little planning you can get as good a deal
as new customers do.
Action 1
Don’t switch services if you’re still in your minimum
contract period. This avoids costly cancellation charges.
Action 2
Call your current service provider and tell them you’re
thinking of leaving them. Most have a team who will do
their best to keep you by offering you a new deal or free
monthly subscriptions.
Action 3
If you’ve already got ADSL and decide to switch, ask your
current service for your MAC code. This is your ‘Migration
Authorisation Code’. Give it to your new service provider
and they’ll then do all the hard work in switching you over.
Not all Internet providers use MAC codes, however.
