Switching your broadband to BT

It's as easy as 1, 2, 3

You can switch your broadband to BT in just a few steps. Just order a package and we'll contact your current provider to transfer your services. You could be up and running in around 11 days with no break in your service.

But before you get started, you may need your MAC code…

MAC code

Do I need a MAC code?

Your MAC code is a series of numbers and letters we use to make sure you don't lose your broadband connection when you switch from another provider.

If you're on cable

You don't need to get a MAC code from your current provider – you can just go ahead and order. We'll inform your Cable provider that you're ceasing your line if your bringing your current number with you, but you'll need to tell them directly once you have ordered if you're ceasing broadband and TV.

If you don't have a BT phone line

Just place your order with us, and we'll let you know if you need a MAC code.

If you have a BT phone line

You'll need to get a MAC code from your current provider. Find out how below.

We've made getting your MAC code simple

Just look for your current broadband provider below, call the number shown and then ask them for your MAC code. They must provide this to you within five days of you giving them a call. Then just add your MAC code when you order online and we'll do the rest.
