See Annex 1 starting on page 73.

Para A1.5 specifies the 5 days

Para A1.11 gives reasons why they may refuse to provide a MAC - refusal to pay a termination fee is NOT a valid reason.

That's a great piece of info Jelv, but since when did BT observe the rules?

Still, I particularly like
Quote:
A1.12 Where the Communications Provider is unable to, or refuses to, provide a
MAC to the End-User, the Communications Provider shall provide the End-
User with a clear explanation of why the MAC has not been provided.
