MACs are no longer required, your new ISP informs your old one and it (should) go seamlessly. I had to threaten Plusnet with a request for a MAC to get a better offer and they informed me of this.
In fact: Under rules introduced in June 2015 consumers who switch broadband provider no longer require a MAC code. Instead, Ofcom's revamped code of practice transfers responsibility for managing a switch to the provider to whom the customer is switching.
As an aside I've just had to contact Plusnet to inform them they're overcharging me £11/month.
I suggest you look at MSE to see what deals are available.
