Yesterday, I received my new wireless homeline modem and phones from Spark. I set it all up as instructed, and put my usename for Slingshot, plus my password. The advertising material said that it should go immediately on the internet. It didn't. So I spent all day going through all the instructions and all the setup sections on the Administration settings part of the modem, and I kept getting the message back "Your internet service has been blocked". Yet the instructions say that all I had to do was to enter the ISP username and password and it should happen. I have another Spark modem that worked through my copper landline and when I set it up for Slingshot, it went on line immediately with no problem!I wonder if my ISP was Spark, the internet would have gone on line right way without me spending all day puzzling as to why it wouldn't?Does this mean that the new fangled wireless home line that Spark is trotting out for its landline customers is a sneaky ploy for me to ditch Slingshot, which I have been very happy with for quite a number of years, and to sign up for a more expensive deal with less data and no roll over? It would be good if others out there are having the same experience as I am with this?What's the point of having one modem for wireless home line with Spark, and having to use another modem over the old land line for my ISP? Doesn't make sense to me!
