Hi,

With broadband in the UK, you need to make an initial connection to the
service - i.e, authenticate.  This is usually done on a router when it
is switched on (making it always on), or by the dial up connection with
some modems (again having the same effect).

The connection is however always present on the phone line.

Hi List.

I've often heard it said that a broadband connection is always on, or
always connected, but I find that I still have to log-in with my Pipex
connection each time I launch OE or IE.

Have I simply misunderstood what is meant by always on, or is there a
setting I need to change?>
