Ok, so I'm currently with Tiscali and have been waiting for Be to be enabled in my area (which is supposed to be today!). So how to I go about changing?

I know I'll have to phone up and get my MAC. Does it matter when I do that? It doesn't 'expire' or anything? Eg. If I got the MAC today, but didn't sign up with Be until a few weeks later, it won't have changed?

Then I'll have to give the MAC to Be so they can migrate me. How to I go about canceling with Tiscali? Do I have to give it a few weeks after canceling with them before I can switch? When I give my MAC to Be how long does it take to migrate me? Would I be able to connect straight away, or would that again take a few weeks?

Basically what's the easiest way with minimal downtime?



Hope that makes sense.
Thanks. :)
