Virgin Media MAC address.not needed to change ISP. Is this true?

If you're in a Virgin Media cabled area, then you're not using a BT ADSL line to connect to the internet, you're using a Virgin Media-owned line. As no other providers can use this Virgin Media line, they all use the BT-owned phone lines to provide you with internet access. As a MAC code is used to reassign your provider on the BT phone line, Virgin Media don't need to provide you with one because you're not receiving their service through the phone line.

So no, they're telling the truth. :)
