i nearly signed up with Tesco broadband but went for Pipex instead. Just as well cos your story is about the 3rd i've heard in the last month from an unhappy Tesco customer.

hmmm , is it a BT Voyager modem?

When you get through to TESCO ask them to do a Woosh test on the line as its a possiblity that the modem cannot Sync with the exchange, have you checked the filters , if not change them for new ones as filters are cheaply made and theres so many produced that are faulty.

also try making a manual DUN connection use your username and password and dial 0,38 and see if that connects.

its a thomson modem aka speedtouch

0,38 aint tried that.. but that wont work if there no "dialtone" ...

tried making a DUN no diff. TESCO cant doo the woosh test they get BT todo it :/

checked all filters.. moved the pc too the master box disconected everything so it jsut on its own.. no diff!

NOT HAPPY!

just because it says no dial tone , dont belive it, basicly you r modem cannot sync with your local exchange, can you borrow a router from anyone?

process of elimination , so you can rule out the modem being faulty , it may not sync because of a problem between your line and the exchange, Woosh will probally return an inconclusive report on the line then TESCO can log with BT and they can run further tests.

Ring BT on 150 and ask for Wholesale and get them to run a test, they probally wont speak with you but worth a try.
