Enter in some of your details for verification. Ie on the phone, they ask you any combination of the following:

1. Your customer ID
2. Your address
3. Your broadband setup password (this isnt the same as the w12121212121 style password you get given when you sign up your account, its the one stored on their account, that you give the sales guy)
4. Your last bill amount

Whole loads of stuff really, they could jsut ask 3 random questions out of that list, and it would be pretty unlikely that someone else would know them all.

paulyoung666: the only thing i can think of, is that its checking for updates. There is a button to do that, and I guess the sockets are initialised on startup, rather than when you click the button. Still, doesn't matter to me, my 15k version 1.1 works just peachy
