No Broadband, "DSL Carrier is down"

Brains · 9 Apr 2007 at 15:37

After Tiscali taking nearly nine weeks to clear my line, I took out orange broadband a few days ago, they have told me the username and password but i have come to try and connect with my own D-Link DSL-300T ethernet modem and it seems to not even be attempting to connect now, it was fine with Tiscali, i checked the log and it stops doing anything saying...

...I rang BT but they are not interested as our broadband is not with them, i'm not going to try orange atleast until there router arrives in a week or so and i have tried that, but until then can anyone suggest anything?

Many thanks.

i suggest give orange a call to see if they activated the line. btw are you on the Unlimted package with the Livebox?

Yeah, why?

i was helping my uncle setup his livebox and had problems getting connected. turns out that at the end of the username you have to add @fs but the letter he received had @fs@fs so one too many @fs so that was way he could not login.

doubt thats your problem through.

anyways gl.

Anyone?

Thought it had already been answered. It's fairly obvious that if you've only just signed up that your line hasn't been activated yet. Wait! It takes up to 10 days (usually done within a week)
