A daft question about broabnd switching

If I stop service with one broadband supplier, get the mac code and give
this code to the new supplier, when I get the activation date for the new
supplier will the broadband with current supplier stop ?

Just wondering if I might get billed for 2 suppliers accidently ?

Thanks

Shouldn't get stopped if you are on a monthly contract try to place
your order around 8 days before the end of current month, if migration
doesn't take place until you are into the next month you would have to
pay for the whole month for nothing .
I have migrated three times in four months and have never had or
should I say seen any down time having put the new details into the
modem router just before going to bed and when I have got up the next
day everything was done and dusted .

Only way this could happen would be if you where to go into another
month with your present ISP or they did charge you for anther month by
accident .

Or allegedly up to 8 months in certain cases...
