TBH I don't really care, and we're way off topic, I guess there are merits to both arguments - probably best to agree to disagree and get back to the purpose of the thread  |
I do not believe you are right there mate. IIRC the line is active until you tell BT or your ISP to turn it off
Connect an old USB modem there will be 2 lights on it when you boot the pc. The connection is made but you need to use a sign in process to gain access to the net you are not establising a connection just authenticating your right to use it
