Have bt 1meg BB in the house and the mate who is on Eircoms similar offer was having grief with his modem. So I told him I would bring my modem/router down to his place and see if we could get online and sort some things out. When I got down I plugged his dsl phone line into my router along with his ethernet cable. Before I had a chance to go into my routers setup page to change it to his psw/username the green internet light starts flashing and where connected. I know bt are only reselling eircoms package but I always thought my username/psw was linked to my phone line. But going by this it seems you can punch your user/psw into someone else's router and as long as they have eircom or one of its re-sellers you will get connected. Anyone else having this experience
