The T&Cs do not say that you can't admit to being on the trial. They say that you should not discuss any aspect of the trail itself.

Which I haven't won't.

They say 'the trial is confidential' and that you cannnot make any communication concerning the trial - which I would say covers saying you are ON the trial!

As I said I will not discuss aspects of the trial but just saying I've been accepted is not breaking the T&Cs

I do not think they will be able to find out the identities of everyone that has posted on all the forums saying that they have been accepted for the trial, very very unlikely.

I'd better shut up then or I'll be kicked off the trial and my super improved connection will go back to its normal erratic self ;):D

As I can't talk about the trial (not even admitting I'm on it) so not going to say anything about receiving the equipment today and installing it 5 mins ago ;)

Also those of you that use more than 2 ethernet ports are in for a shock.

So Blenky you have the kit and you have installed it, good to know people are starting to recieve the equipment.

I cannot confirm or deny that ;). However if I could I would say that installation was easy but the equipment only has two ethernet ports. I was using three on my router but luckily the third wasn't important.

Oh so it is placed inline (to measure connection and ensure that it's not being used when it wants to run its' testing scripts) like the old Linksys Samknows perf network kit was..

I'm still amused at the amount of people who post to say 'Yay I'm on this trial'. Err, guys, you get this box, attach it to your kit and it sits there. It's hardly exciting. If you were trialling 200Mbit down or 10Mbit up that is interesting, attaching a box that runs periodic tests on your connection then phones home at Samknows HQ with the results isn't really overly fap-worthy ;)

Kits in
Linksys WRT54GL which is piggybacked onto my linksys BEFSR41 V3 which I have had for 4 yrs.

Able to log on to the virgin\samknows site and it gives various information such as blah blah blah, de blah blah and then it goes on to blah de blah blah de blah.

Anyways I have disconnected the aerials for the wireless as I already have a belking wireless

**EDIT**

Im having problems with a script running on the site and adobe flash player 10 my browser grinds to a halt.
