Just to confirm, should I definitely not ask for a MAC code first? Will it do any harm if I do?Get a MAC from Virgin. It cannot do any harm.
I've been googling around and there's loads of conflicting advice about this wrt Sky. Some people seem to be saying that if you don't ask for a MAC and you start the order and later it turns out you do need one, you can be stuck without broadband for weeks (!)
e.g. this post
Assuming you are going to Sky LLU, Sky almost certainly won't want it, but you will have signified to VM that you are leaving. With most ISPs the issue of a MAC starts a (non-binding on you) 30-day notice period. Your VM T & Cs or FAQs will tell you.
If you aren't going to Sky LLU, but to Sky Connect, DON'T!
