I'm with Free24-7.net (which is the bare-bones v21 service) and at around
8pm last night I couldn't get a connection (would 'verify username and
password' and just timeout) either. Could it be that you just experimented
at the wrong time of day? I hope it is, cause I ordered one as well...

Can you leave the DNS server entries blank, or some other settings so it
defaults to 'autodetect'? This dial-up script, what does it look like?

Isn't there a voucher in the box? Or do you get it by registering the set
top box at the 'homepage'?
