- Migration from Tiscali
- Posted by Mike K on July 4th, 2005
Copy of info posted by "Mr Tibbs", moderator of Tiscali's Broadband
Service Support forum:
" Migration
BT has recently launched the ability to do a single migration between
IPStream and DataStream (both ways). Prior to this Tiscali had been
unable to support migrations due to the fact that the majority of our
customer base is on DataStream. Since BT has launched this
functionality it has been one of Tiscali’s top priorities to implement
this. We’d like to stress that this is something Tiscali has been
pushing BT to introduce for a long time and as the only significant
DataStream provider, we expect that it will actually benefit Tiscali
far more than it will hurt us. We feel Tiscali is at a significant
commercial disadvantage, particularly as we have very competitive
broadband offers. Much of the work for the ‘Mac Code’ migrations has
now been completed. We are in the process of testing, we expect to
launch in the coming weeks."
At last!! Now maybe I'll soon be able to get away from this cowboy
outfit.

They have been saying this for 10 months, they are now one of the few, if
the only UK Isp that does NOT give MAC codes.
Dont hold your breath.

Does this mean we can all now pull the plug and move on.....?
I would appreciate your idea of the timescale of this, as I want to move,
but dont want the broadband down for very long (if at all)

yes, that's the major pain, for customers wishing to move...
which is good news, at least making PN on a par with a few other ISPs,
and giving it an advantage over some others (for a little while, maybe).

Well I would like to move to Plusnet right now, but I don't want a long
outage of broadband service. Anyone care to comment? Am I likely to be
kept waiting for weeks and months for the MAC code from Tiscali?

Tiscali dont give MAC numbers, and IMHO will not in the near future, and
even then I think it will only be to Their Own LLU networks.
There is no real reason for them not giving them, apart from the users
having a smooth move from tiscali and I dont think that is the way they
want it to happen.
