Yes, TalkTalk send you your username/password in the welcome pack after you sign up.
You are free to use any router you like

that's great news cant wait to move to them

Don't forget to register on the Talktalk members forums here after going live. You can then request things such as changing the downstream SNR (default is 12), switching to fastpath profile etc. Any problems registering on the forum, use this form to get in touch:

What is SNR Margin?

Once you go live with talktalk, wait 7-10 days and if you're not experiencing any problems then request your SNR to be brought down to 6db; this will increase your sync speed.

What is interleaved?
If you will be gaming then you will need very low ping times so you will need interleaving switched off (ie fastpath)...however if you're on a long-ish line then it would be wise to stay on interleaved for line stability.

Ok thanks for the info will keep it on a notepad

Don't worry mate you'll be fine...don't listen to the doom merchants! TalkTalk's LLU service is actually very good. I've been with them for about 8 months and i get line speeds 24/7 with not a single outage. Sure, their phone support isn't the best but stick to web forum support and you'll get top class support there. They only throttle P2P (and good on 'em!) and all other traffic (voip, web browsing, video streaming, gaming) runs at full speed 24/7 My pings are 10-15 ms. As for their FUP on the "unlimited" plus package, i believe its 100GB per month. My average usage per month is around 90GB and they haven't said a word to me. Go for it!

As above and i have been with them a lot longer.
