TTNET router settings

TTNET. Like the internet, but slower.
This might be an obscure one for many, but having spent untold time trying to find these settings I want to immortalise them here.
If you want to bring your own router to TTNET (their free ones are better than some I've been given in the past, but still pretty weak) you'll need these to fill in the connection details. Make sure you know your username and password as the accounts are not automatically tied to your phone number as they are with some ISPs / countries.

Username: ******@ttnet (don't leave out this @ttnet part)
Password: I can't help you here...
If you've forgotten it, and have internet access somehow, use this online form.
If you don't have internet access (makes sense..), you'll have to phone them.
Amusingly (for me at least) if you enter the wrong password your router will connect, and when you try to access a website you'll be pushed to the "wrong password" webpage where you can find the phone number and other help information.

Connection type:
PPPoE
LLC (not VCMUX)
ATM UBR (choose these if options exist)
MTU: 1454 (actually this was set to 1492 on my old router but 1454 seems stable and is more "default")
VPI: 8
VCI: 35

That's about all there is to it.

If you're having trouble getting into your router settings, a safe bet is "admin / [no password]" or "admin / admin". Otherwise you'll have to find the manual or google your router model. If it's second hand, try using the reset button (hold for 5-10 seconds until the lights flash) to reset to factory settings.
