Apolgies if this has been covered before - I have done a search, but cannot find it !
A friend has just had NTL BB installed (stand alone modem). When we try and register, we get as far as accepting the terms and conditions (i.e. the modem is talking to NTL, getting account details etc), and then it fails to complete with an error. This happens with the CD installer, or via the web page. BB support have no solutions, and simply say "it should work, try again tomorrow" ! We have tried for 3 days now, with no change in result , and no change in advice from BB support ! Anybody have any clues ?
Windows XP, SACM , 1Meg BB, there is no other NTL service to the house - the phone is BT, TV is terrestrial aerial !
Also, does anybody know if I can register the new account from my house (obviously with the new modem attached), or if I keep having to visit to try it ? I already have NTL BB, so I guess if it's only associating an account with a modem MAC address, then it should be ok to do, but I'm not sure !
Any advice gratefully received. The package is about to be cancelled if we can't get it working in the next few days !:mad:
