Sky broadband

I signed up to sy broadband at the mid range package. Received the wireless
modem today along with a letter saying its activation date is 28 of January.

By any chance does anyone know if they switch it on before this date ?

I connected it all up to check it and the little light thats for net access
is amber instead of green for active.

Well what do you really expect?

If your lucky it may be on for next Monday, if not take your choice
from 3 months to never..

I moved to Sky from Pipex, and i'm pretty sure it only became
available on the announced changeover date.

Were you lucky enough to get one of the new modem/routers (Sagem/
Netgear) or the original Netgear DG834GT?

I got a small black box called a Sagem. F@ST 2504.

I gather this is a good box ?

Mine certainly seems to be!

I got it as a replacement for a NetGear DG834GT which failed in the
first 12 months. But not before I managed to extract the userID and
password from it - now I have a choice of modems I can use,
