MAC address...?

What use is a MAC address exactly? If I leave my ISP do I need it? Why?? :confused:

OK. But if I don't bother with obtaining the MAC address what problems could result from that?

Even if you are moving to another ISP that is the case? Interesting.

But if you are not intending to get online again within 30 days, then the mac will expire?

"Not intending to get online again" makes me think your canceling your BB and want no BB at all fr a while?? If so you dont need a code as your not migrating your ceasing and then eventually providing.

Well, I'm moving with my sister and where we are living she has already got broadband, so I guess I have no need for my MAC code. Although I'm living with my dad at the moment and he is moving up to Scotland and he therefore may need it as he will want to get online up there. He won't be sticking with the same ISP though, but from what you're saying that doesn't matter, the MAC code will still be required. Only problem is that he's a bit of an idiot and leaving this all to him has me thinking he will be terribly confused.
