Aww, AAISP were able to get me my MAC automatically without human intervention, I guess.
AAISP are a quality ISP though, but IDNET is still my second recommendation for users who don't think they will manage the potentially costly 9-6 M-F usage costs

I got an activation of the 12th by email, phoned with my mac today

12th?!
Guess thats because I'm taking my rental over too and they have to wait a defined time before they can take over the line.
BT called me today to confirm I wanted to cease my line on the 18th, which happens to be the same date I am scheduled to be activated.
