Hi All
I set up BT broadband at my home, all set up fine according to the
instructions. BT booklet instructs you only to input username - this is
supposed to be (E-Mail Removed) However, I seem to be able to get
connected with any user name imaginable...How secure is this, especially as
password is not required?
Cheers,
George

Its secure.. BT Broadband checks the telephone number of the line connecting
with its CBUK number (the number of your ADSL circuit) to see how is
connecting - I don't even think it uses the username at all
