Clearly states that 2mb and 10mb get broadband plus free, it's been that way for a while, well before any talk of 4mb existed.

I'm on 10 meg broadband and already Broadband plus registered but still cannot access live feed - is this actually supposed to be working yet?

oh well, usual wait and see procedure from NTL, would be nice to get something from day 1 that actually worked even if it was free.

Right, sorted it.

The broadband plus signup script must check if your eligible for the service via your PC's IP address, if you've got a router between the CM and your PC then your PC's not gonna have a WAN IP.

So temporarily connecting my PC direct to the CM signing up to BB+ and then putting the network back to normal seems to have done the trick.

I go to the BB+ site and can access all the photo stuff etc it signs me in OK, then I try the BB link on this site but the page has no mention of live feed...I'm on 2MB.

So... To get this 'free' service you need to:

A) Be a 2mb or 10mb customer
B) Have registered for BB+
C) Be using the USB connection from your modem

Well, i guess they can give it for free as so few of they're customer base will be able to view it.

Well done chaps.

Well, it was my sarcastic-self. as you need to be on bb+, you apparently need to have registered, and anyone i know with a router can not get on it. but 3 family members i know with usb connections all can. it seems fairly clear cut to me.

I use a router am on 10mb and registered for BB+ and can't get it.
Usual programming skill at NTL it seems, they never get anything right first time.

I really wish they would spend money on the network and peering instead of this rubbish, especially when its rubbish that doesn't work.

Re: ntl Telewest and Big Brother 7 News.
 
I made no mention of needing to be on a USB connection, all I said was that for me I had to by-pass the router inorder to register for BB+.

I was still using the ethernet connection on my modem when I bypassed the router, so the USB only thing isn't right.

I'm able to access BB+ stuff from behind my router, just couldn't register for it going through my router.

Re: ntl Telewest and Big Brother 7 News.
