Ofcom Makes it Easier for Broadband Users to Switch

At last it will easier to switch your broadband providor. Personally, I've been meaning to for a while but am concerned how extensive the downtime will be as switch over.

However, Ofcom started an investigation in April into how easy it was to change providor and concluded that it could be easier.

They weren't happy with the process of your old providor releasing your "Migration Authorisation code" (MAC). If it wasn't released in time you could go quite a while with no broadband connection.

Sky have reported that they're happy to work with the new guidelines.
