| HI Ordered sky bb, due to go live tomorrow Fri 4th July Got a Sagem router My son originally ordered sky TV in his name so the username, password and email address are his. I have sent a letter to sky asking for the account to be changed into my name (sky's instructions) Can I change the username/password/email address now, or will I have the wait for sky to do that?, I seem to remember reading that the username & password are hard-wired into the router Installation Do I have to use the sky CD? -- Martin ©¿©¬ |

The email address you will get will be your . If you don't like it, simply create a new one and use that. Installation is really plug and play, attach router to phone line, connect to pc using cat 5 cable and you are off. You don't need the installation CD at all - unless you want to install the McAfee crap suite onto your pc and kill it!! You may have to go into internet propeties though and remove the default connection (your previous ISP). Think I have mine set to "Never dial a connection". |

| When changing things just watch if you are starting new agreements that the old being cancelled does not mean you pay penalties. My neighbour recently got Sky, Sky 'phone and broadband. After only a few weeks Sky contacted him and said if you pay line rental to us we will save you a £1 per month. He thought great, said yes signed up, then got a cancellation bill from BT of about £240. ( Only a month earlier than getting Sky Tv he had changed from cable 'phone to BT.) -- Regards, David Please reply to News Group |
