- Clearing ADSL from line before signing up to new ISP - When?
- Posted by Duncan Masterman on May 23rd, 2005
How can I tell when my ISP (Tiscali - so known for being difficult to get
away from!) has released my line before I am able to sign up with a new ISP.
They have said upto 15 days from cancellation.
I did have a link
https://www.cs-server1.bt.com/hhway-...USNUM=&TELNUM=
to use which would show the BT work order but that no longer seems to work
(I have removed my customer number & telephone number from this link before
pasting it on the newsgroup)

Why do you want to cancel when you can migrate to another ISP with no loss
of service and saving on setup costs?

If you have a router, it will lose sync. It'll usually show the up/down
speeds, but obviously there won't be any PPP connection (unless Tiscali
forget to kill your account).
Tiscali appear to be incapable of knowing about how to get a MAC for their
{soon to be ex-} customers and without a MAC, you cannot migrate. Also, a
problem (hopefully solved in the current BT trial, if one chooses from the
ISPs which are on that trial :-) currently exists if trying to migrate off
a DataStream service (Tiscali is one of the few ISPs which uses it instead
of IPstream, which the majority of ISPs are using). Peter M.

Not from Tiscali he cannot! They do not support MAC code migrations!

Tiscali - dialup speeds at Broadband prices.
AOL - the unlimited ISP of choice for heavy downloaders.
