Thanks. I will ask Marie to check it first before I come and set it up.

Hi Chris

I've just gone to BT within the last week or so.  I didn't install anything,
simply plugged the cables in and set up my account.

A word of warning though.  I had ructions with BT to start with because my
modem light kept flashing on and off every 10 seconds.  My colleague James
popped round and kindly announced to BT that my modem was resembling a
Christmas tree with its lights flashing constantly.  We were both told that
I needed to let the modem settle for up to 10 days to ensure that I was
getting a constant static signal.  What a load of old cock and bull.  I
politely asked them if they'd keep my charges at a static zero until this
settled, but they didn't seem to understand!
(smile).

It has now settled, which is perhaps just as well for them.

No, don't install any software, just plug it in.

Hello all,
My friend will be getting a new laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium this
coming week. She's currently with the above provider. Does she require the
software they give you or can she just plug in the Ethernet cable and get
internet access right away?
Just want to be safe and sorry.
Thank you very much. Take care.
From Chris.
