I thought this fee only applied when broadband was removed from a telephone line.
Thanks

I've now received a missive from Plusnet:-
Customer has migrated to an LLU provider and the account has been closed.
Broadband Migration Date: 17/07/2014
The account balance is as follows:-
(Invoice 52033670 ) Service Charges Between 07-07-2014 to 06-08-2014 = £ 16.99
(£ 11.32 Refund due back to the customer for 20 days without service)
Cessation £ 30.00
Final Balance: £ 18.68
Kind regards,
I didn't know that BT was an LLU Provider!

It looks like something strange went on though, since PN seem to think you went to LLU!!.

It clearly states that if you need a MAC code they would ask for it. If not they will deal with the existing supplier.
I am not sure who is in error here. BT or Plusnet. What is absolutely certain however is THAT IT IS NOT ME.

I think you might be referring to this http://media.ofcom.org.uk/news/2013/consumers-to-benefit-from-easier-broadband-and-landline-switchin...
Quote I understand the rules changed earlier this year.
However I don't think that is actually in place yet ( I may be wrong though! ). Ofcom's current information says MAC http://ask.ofcom.org.uk/help/internet-service/switch_suppliers
Unless the new procedures are actually in place then it looks like BT are in error.
Assuming the new procedures aren't in place yet I don't understand how BT managed to do the transfer without a MAC. Did you have any break in service ?

Quote This charge will be raised should you :-
Switch to another Broadband provider without following the standard Migration Authorisation Code (MAC) process.
Switch to another Broadband provider without following another recognised transfer process, when it applies.
Switch to a Cable provider.
Cease your Broadband completely.
Cease your Broadband and move outside of the UK.
When won't the charge be raised?
This charge will not be raised should you :-
Move home and you re-connect to BT Total Broadband via the homemover process.
Move home and we are unable to provide the service at your new UK address.
You are ceasing service due to bereavement or severe illness.
Surely in the scenario where one is moving abroad / terminating service(s) a Migration AC should not apply as one would potentialy be going with a company in that country thus not migrating anywhere in the UK, as they are likely to be charged the cessation fee anyway

Ah!, that's possibly how they managed to do the transfer without a MAC although I still thought you needed one. There's a really good ( although a bit technical in places ) guide to how the transfer process works here http://www.thinkbroadband.com/guide/migration.html
Quote I upgraded to fttc at the same time. Is it possible that this has caused the problem? BT say no but I am beginning to wonder who to believe.
They might both be owned by the BT Group but BT Retail and PlusNet are run as separate companies and as such are not permitted to talk to each other by Ofcom.
Quote BT will not speak to Plusnet to sort this out even though they are the same company.
The interesting wording in the message from PN is
implying a migration process was used. There was a thread some while ago about whether a cease charge was applicable when migrating to LLU but I don't think it was resolved ( can't find the thread at the moment ). Anyway I can't see how LLU can possibly be correct in this case.
