Will any adsl modem pick up Be's signal

Not sure. Possibly not if an older model as Be use a more modern scheme of
ADSL than an older ADSL modem/router which may or may not not recognise
(details anyone ?).


and show as connected without
changing any settings, or will we have to connect it to the pc and phone
Be to get their settings first?

To get it play properly (certainly to get any actual data throughput - i.e.
to authenticate), certain settings WILL need to be altered.

Be should be explaining this to you. Thye're not being helpful enough.

Phoned them this evening to see how the 24 hour test had gone - it was still
running so they couldn't advise. They believe the problem lies in BT's wiring
between the house and the street cabinet, we have to call BT and ask them
to check / replace. I can see this is going to be great fun!!!

I knew he should have gone with cable, none of this passing the buck!

If the phone line is OK for voice and you call BT out, expect a £100+
bill for the pleasure.

ANY broadband affecting fault must be reported to BT by the ISP, NOT
the end user.
