I've read a customer should receive a mac code within 5 days of requesting it. It even states this in Nildram's terms and conditions. I requested my mac code on the 22nd June and received it 5 days 8 hrs later on the 27th June. As part of my contract, I have to give 30 days notice before my contract to them is terminated. All fine and well. I transfered to my new ISP on the 19th July.

Now my dispute is when this 30 day notice begins, does it begin the day you request the mac code or the day you receive it? And if it's the day you receive it, can I bring up the fact that I received my mac code outside the 5 days? They've already overbilled me forgetting the fact that the 30 days is already up regardless of when it begins.

I am aware that a mac code expires after 30 days, that's not the issue, it's the fact that giving 30 days notice should surely begin when you first notify them that you want to leave and request the mac code. I haven't seen this issue explained in any of their FAQs or support section. Any help is appreciated. :)

Thanks for your replies guys, HomerJ I get exactly what you're saying. In my case Nildram are taking the 30 day notice as beginning from the date I was issued with it, which I guess is a lot better than the scenario you described, 30 days after using the mac code.

Regarding the 5 day period in which the ISP gives the mac code out, are they breaking a rule or law by not giving it out within that time period?

I have just moved from Nildram. I thought once the migration goes through and the MAC code is used, your account no longer exists? Could someone correct me if I am mistaken.

I can still log into my Nildram account and webmail but not use my actual broadband details to use their service again.
