Issue 210 of Computeractive magazine, published on 2 March, includes a guide
to changing your ISP, whether you have a dial-up or broadband connection. Here
are some links mentioned in the feature that you may find helpful.
Moving to a new house and unsure whether broadband is available? Try BT's
availability checker.
Enter the post code or telephone number of the property - you'll have to scroll
down the website to use this feature.
In order to move ISP, you'll need a MAC code. No ISP can refuse to issue one,
as set out in the Ofcom
code of
practice.
One problem you may encounter when moving is having the wrong sort of MAC
code - find out about the difference between IPStream and DataStream
here.
Sadly, some people need to move ISP when their existing provider goes into
liquidation - this can be tricky for people with hosted websites, but advice is
available from
Nominet.
For free webmail while moving your ISP, try
Hotmail or
Lycos.
