So now, I just want to know, what is auto-update, and where do I disable it (in the MDC, I assume)?

I will most likely try to flash the firmware very soon, but I am trying to seek an alternative option before I do. I am currently exchanging emails with 2wire's tech support to know if it could be possible to enter a different keycode by going into debug mode (the JTAG pin 1&2 thing that some of you are most likely aware of). I don't know if this would allow one to change the keycode? And if yes, then could we possibly use the modem as-is without any reflashing?

Edit: I called 2wire yesterday and it's too bad that I'm in Canada, or else I would've asked them to JTAG it to the AT&T version, which is not locked... =/]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Unlocking-Bell-2Wire-modems-22106040 Sat, 21 Mar 2009 11:55:56 EDT Re: Unlocking Bell 2Wire modems.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Unlocking-Bell-2Wire-modems-22105363
Don't forget to disable the auto update on the modem, and I think the forced @singtel was in there also.

Just need to be reconfigured, after all, you unlock more than 1000% disabled functions after replacing Bell's firmware.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Unlocking-Bell-2Wire-modems-22105363 Sat, 21 Mar 2009 08:14:37 EDT Re: Unlocking Bell 2Wire modems.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Unlocking-Bell-2Wire-modems-22104739

I have Tek Savvy Internet, too, I purchased a Bell 2Wire modem 2701HG-G modem aswell.. I was wondering when you flashed it.. what setup-keycode did you use? Because I read the page and they said for extra features you can use different keycode, such as content filtering, and parental controls and many others.

apparently:
"5225-2374-WG62-22AS-BJ7P" will give you 'Internet Access Controls', 'Content Screening' and 'Firewall Monitor'

"528Y-27G4-A222-22BJ-B22V" will just give you only 'Firewall Monitor'

The reference can be found at:»bt2700hgv.tripod.com/ir1002700HG···29.117.3

The bell 2701HG-G is a up to date adsl modem
If your "old Alcatel" was a alcatel 1000 or speedtouch home/pro the 2wire just does a better job of maintaining adsl sync.
