My ISP say that they can't give me a MAC code as my exchange has undergone LLU. Has anybody else been fobbed off with this, or is it true. The only way I can change ISP is to stop my current supplier and then wait up to 10 working days before the new supplier can connect me. I thought the LLU was supposed to help competition. In this case it seems to encourage me to stay with the same crappy supplier.

Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -
Its true - LLU migration is not really well defined, in effect you need to disconnect and connect again.
LLU helps get ISPs to the last mile, but migration sucks so far - its something they don't tell you when you sign up... -
There is a LLU migration trial scheme. Some ISPs are able to give you a LLU MAC, however not all other ISPs will be able to use it.Comment

How sh1t is that? So the only way I can migrate away is to close my connection and then wait for the next one to reconnect me. However I need net access so that I can work from home - meaning there will be a period of time when I can't do this.

Yes its pretty crap (because new connection can not be started until old one is over), I had to take 2nd line to ensure continuity of service - it might be an option for you.
Of course this all happened because no ISP wants people to migrate.Comment

My line is only capable of taking a 1mb link. I have got my ISP to knock down the price to £10 per month. Originally they wanted me to sign a 12 month contract which I politely told them to shove - I've been with them for 7 years so I'm not signing to stay another 12 months.
I spoke to Offcom - No use. They said that they are trying to get some sort of code of practice in place. Once it's in place I will look at moving.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
