Tesco BB settings

Hey,

Apparently today is my activation date, although I haven't received my
welcome pack, I do already have a modem from my pipex days, so wondered
if I could just create a new dialup connection* for tesco?

If so, what's the number/username format/any other settings?
If they're on the tesco website please let me know 'cos I can't find
much on there at all!

Cheers,
Chris


* I was wondering, why do they use this dialup method, when windows has
other options for always-on broadband? any isps do it that way?

Never used dial-up settings, both modems I`ve used you just connect via
ethernet, enter the settings and away you go. Then again, I always go for a
router rather than a USB modem, because I`ve got a wireless network access
point plugged straight into the modem. Top idea!

Nope, sadly I've been conditioned to poor customer service... but I'll
give it a go.

Cheers,
Chris

I already had a wireless AP, my modem went wonky, so I went to PC world to
buy one. I got a fair deal as well, obviously more expensive than online,
but I took it home and was back online in half an hour. It would have been
less, but I couldn`t find my laptop, and the modem/router was working on an
entirely different private IP range as the AP, so I have to keep messing
about to get them all friendly.
