How to switch to BT?
BT is the biggest internet service provider in the UK offering home phone, broadband and business services to more than 5 million customers in the UK. If you want to switch from another broadband supplier to BT, the process is simple and easy.
Just get the MAC KEY from your service provider before you sign up for a BT product. This will help you to use the current service until the migration is completed.
When you switch from cable broadband to BT, check out whether you have BT phone line in your area. The activation of your phone line and broadband may take a week or more so it is a good idea that you cancel your cable broadband after you have been moved to the new service.
