When sky acquired O2/Be they said they would make it easy for the new o2/Be subs and everyone else to be able to use there own router as soon as they could retrain their agents to cope.

Since then their has been a deafening silence on the subject which has been further compounded by the release of the sr-102 hub (combined Xdslmodem/router). Maybe it was just a load of hot air to placate new subs from Be/O2?

Anyway it's not a huge deal to sniff your username/password and load a suitable firmware.

What is even easier, if double nat is not an issue for you, is to put your router in the sky sr-101 hubs DMZ.

With the present sr-102's firmware this seems to be the only way to use your own modem with it unless you replace it with an OR standalone modem off ebay.
