Cheers man just replied to your PM.

I am beginning to think even though I have a dial tone it's not gone live yet as it's not even attempting to connect whatsoever.

I had that problem. No exchange tinkering needed as was already on TTB with my previous ISP, but Pulse8 said the migration had happened but i couldnt connect.

Called CS and Sam changed my password and that sorted it.

Will give hem a call tomorrow just trying to check and make sure I can access my router and/or pc from work tomorrow so I can test the connection.

If you have an old BT OR modem you could plug that in to check that the connection has been enabled as it doesn't require a username and password to sync...

Have you tried using PPPoA? Thats what im using

Hmm my router only lets me select PPPoE and not PPPoA

Ah is your connection FTTC or ADSL2?

Combo modem/routers should do the same. It just isn't as obvious. Most have a DSL/Broadband (sync) light and also an Internet one (PPP session).

Sure you probably have setup instructions for your router, but a link just in case.

So long as the DSL lights are on, then it should be a fairly straightforward job. Wonder if there was a mistake in your P8 user connection details. Username should be your phonenumber @pulse8broadband.co.uk with your phone number again used for connection password. Sure you probably have this, but just double checking. Not sure about the up by 5.00pm statement, as mine was up and running upon the engineer connecting it.

This is the bit which is bugging me (I have tried 3 different rj11 cables or whatever they are called)

Please check if your phone cable is properly connected.

Will check the link as well which you provided and have also changed my login details for the username and password and still no dice.

Looks like there is no DSL light on just wireless and power only.
