(I've not seen how it's done) IIRC, for Fibre you actually get two boxes, one is as it enters your property to provide the fibre connection, and then the Home hub for your internal network, wireless and ethernet. Home hub is also connected to the Fibre interface box (in many ways its the same sort of setup as Cable Broadband). My brother has BT Infinity and that what he tells me happened to him. You should be able to login to the Home Hub, but probably only from Windows/Mac/Linux. -- Chris Hughes
