Re: Locks on DSL modems That's what I thought. By me asking about the lock on the username, that was my way of saying I was 95% certain of that. From my recollection, the modem in full router mode could not log into anything other than a standard b1 login because it just wouldn't let you alter the login atfter the @ symbol.
In any event, the 2wire modems were the only modems that I know of that Bell did this to. For VDSL, there shouldn't be any such software restriction, unless Bell has decided to mess with it again. |

Montreal, QC | Just curious, even in the case that the 2wire would lock user ID format, you should still be able to use it as a modem with a router initiating the pppoe connection, right?

that was done because bell had so many calls (calls cost money) with the whole b1 bi bl crap. why they didnt get rid of that username format still amazes me to this day. b2xxxx00 would have saved them hundreds of thousands of calls over the years probably close to a million is a more accurate number |
