Title: Set up deadlines Post by: smithy69 on December 19, 2006, 11:11:44 AM Hi guys,
I recently ordered my new broadband through Orange, and was advised the wireless router would be here within 10 days. This is now looking very unlikely due to a shortage of Routers with Orange. If I was to cancel my order, does anyone know of any other companies that may be able to do this quick, and before xmas. The main reason I ask is not only have I applied toOrange, my Step father has been bought a laptop and I advised my mum that Orange seemed ok. Obviously if the internet isn't available come xmas day I am gonna feel like a plank. Any Ideas Title: Re: Set up deadlines Post by: boldie on December 19, 2006, 11:57:53 AM Hi guys, I recently ordered my new broadband through Orange, and was advised the wireless router would be here within 10 days.

If you have orange BB then you need a maccode from them and that takes bleeding ages. Even then most BB providers will take 10 working days minimum.

Just buy a cheap router in the meatime from someone like ebuyer.com Title: Re: Set up deadlines Post by: smithy69 on December 19, 2006, 03:47:58 PM Don't I have to have the orange approved router to be able to get on the net - sorry i am a dunce when it comes to stuff like this
