As they have taken over the HH, I wonder if a factory reset might be a good idea?

We don't have a landline phone so can't check, we're not porting a number though. You could try plugging the modem into the PC and setting up a PPPoE connection
I tried that but was unable to get it to work from basic setup. I tried to search for manual settings online but that also didn't work.

I tried pppoe from the modem, no joy either with both auto and manual setup.

If its giving the error page, its unable to connect over its WAN port, so I suspect the authentication is failing - which would be down to BTretail thinking the previous people have cancelled, and the new stuff not starting yet.
I suspect the only option is to keep battling the helldesk.

tried a test user login on the PPPoE session from a computer connected to the modem ? Alternative Cat5 to modem ? Is it plugged in properly ?

I spoke to the helpdesk last night for 5 minutes after 45 minutes on hold. Was told there is some problem their end which requires a visit to the exchange. They said sorry for sending a text saying everything was okay.
I haven't tried test user straight from the modem, how do I do that?

A phone to just check your line is giving the number assigned would be useful. A fiver from argos
Either change of ownership not happened or buttons need pressing to allow authentication to work once more

BT are just being BT ([censored]) and have not turned on auth at there end. I would suggest you visit their forums and speak to one of the mods on there, they're much better than the useless Indian script monkeys.

Turns out my housemate didn't order infinity but instead BT Broadband so it wasn't working because the phone line was plugged into the modem instead of the hub directly. So yes... now Infinity has been ordered and we have ADSL until then!

So where did the modem come from? Did BT deliver it in error or did you get it from somewhere else?
