Is the HH5 locked to BT only or can I use a different ISP connect string for the VDSL connection?

[kitz]

I believe some Plusnet users have used it

Ah! OK, so the question is whether BT have been sneaky and parse the connect string for BT style or PlusNet strings and disallow others or whether it's wide open. Time will tell, I've bitten the bullet and bought one. I'll post my findings here!

Thank you and good luck.

I believe the instructions on how to set it up for non BT users was contained in that thread.
Judging by what information is available, it seems to work for BTw based ISPs, but users of talktalk and sky LLU seem to struggle.. so hopefully you should be ok

...ah, but I'm not on BT or Plusnet. We'll see!

.ah, but I'm not on BT or Plusnet. We'll see!

Sorry should have made it clearer BTw = BT Wholesale based ISPs, which includes the likes of IDnet and Zen etc  and not the LLU providers such as Sky or TT.

Feeling better. I'm with IDNet but on a non-BT circuit. Hoping that as my connect string looks like a normal BTw IDNet one that it'll work!

[f2richard]

It's a no go. Looks like it's locked down to BTr and PlusNet only. Shame, because it's a decent package...

the HH4 didn't like logins from some ISP's ether. I tried to use my unused HH4 with another ISP. it was a fail.
