As it's TalkTalk then it doesn't touch Openreach. Different wholesale authentication system. Sounds like Coms haven't got around to removing your account.

Anyone want to buy my login off me then

Only if they are on TT LLU - so, not me... And not sure what it would get them as if they are already on TT LLU then they don't need it.

Free usage until Coms realise

Not really as you would already be paying an ISP to connect to TT LLU.

True. Does that mean in theory i can connect to an TTB LLU ISP if say my mate gave me his login. Or does the authentication process include a phone number check?

TalkTalk retail certainly does. You can plug in a Sky router with hard-coded PPPoA details and it works just fine.

I read that as "no authentication used" ie if you're wired to a TalkTalk DSLAM you just connect regardless.

All people on TalkTalk wholesale would have unrestricted access to TalkTalk retail's network then?

I don't know and can't test, all I know is that any and no credentials gives a talk talk retail line a working broadband service - I first found this out by using a BT Home Hub to fault find on a TT retail line.

If you have a TT retail line you have a retail broadband service on tap it appears.

Can't say what happens for TT Wholesale customers, whether circuits are setup differently and allocated to different authentication regimes. The authentication might be used to allocate an ISP address from the Retail ISP I suppose.

Last week I took an AOL router home to test and it synced up and logged into AOL via a 21CN BT connection so they don't appear to be limiting the user logins you can apply.
