Sky broadband activation procedure

[TheGriffalo]

Does anyone know the activation procedure for Sky broadband? The GF has just gone on to it and the phone monkey told her the router is pre-configured with her username and password. Is this right or are they feeding her a load of old pony?

Her current router is better than the Sky one so I need to get the username and password for the broadband account but it's like pulling bloody teeth

Is that in the router box or on some seperate parerwork? The GF isn't very good with bits of paper

Ah, that's the Wireless bit.... I was looking for how they supply the actual username and password combination that's needed for the ADSL line.

Are the routers they suppply really preconfigured with the username and password? How do you retrieve it if the router config gets corrupted?

Might be something here of use..

Very interesting. I can certainly debug my DG834GT and grep the pppoa stuff... Let's see if it works for Sky
