Want to switch your broadband to Wi-Manx? You’ll need a MAC!
What is a MAC?
A Migration Authorisation Code (MAC) is a unique code that provides important information about your internet connection. When a customer wishes to migrate their broadband service, they need to obtain a MAC from their current provider. This is then supplied to their new provider to ensure that any disruption to their service is kept to a minimum.
Code of Practice
Launched in 2014, the MAC Code of Practice for switching Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) aims to give consumers an efficient and secure process for switching providers.
Designed and agreed by local ISPs and the Isle of Man Communications Commission, the Code of Practice is completely voluntary – though all local DSL providers have opted in.
