M'Lud - my client BT plc holds that the cat and the parrot are legally competent and this contract is valid and enforceable. I rest my paws/beak.

LOL Mr Jones, very funny!! Absolutely possible given the limited info about the opt in/out page they have shared with their customers. ROFL!

Indeed. If you get any resistance, just say you've already checked with OFCOM and you know your rights... could they just check the system again and see if it is coming back up online, you're happy to hold for them... The system might suddenly be working after 30-60secs on hold - worked for me. Oh, when you first get through and they say they are going to put you through to x, stop them! Ask them to check first that x is there and able to take the call. I also had a couple of times when I got a "Sorry this line is not available, please call back later" type messages until I used this tactic. I have got my MAC code now (valid until August) and when it expires I shall get another, ...and another..., until they decide what they are doing with the Webwise Phorm abhorent product and then I will decide (Should I stay or Shoud I Go...?)
...Make sure you use a free 0800 number to call them - I always look up 0870/0844/0845 numbers on
www.SayNoTo0870.com to get the number I can dial free or included in my minutes bundle
