Hello,
First of all I'm sorry for posting in english (I'll post a translation in Italian aswell), but I moved to italy a few months ago and my Italian is not good enough.
So about 2 weeks ago adsl 7 mega from alice finally reached my city (Abruzzo, Atessa -> Tornareccio), so I ordered it online from :: 187.it - Homepage - ::. They sent me the modem after a couple of days (Alice Gate VoIP 2 Plus Wi-Fi Business, although I ordered a non-wifi modem). Regardless I plugged in the modem and the ADSL let is flickering red but never turns green. I (someone that knows italian in fact) called 187 and they told me the service was not active and I had to wait a few days.
Here's what I see in my 187.it account:
ALICE 7 Mega con Modem Base in noleggio e CD autoinstallante 20/02/2009 :: 187.it - Homepage - :: In lavorazione 25/02/2009
Attivazione Alice 20/02/2009 Servizio Clienti 187 Evaso
So I say my account is not activated yet. But someone replied by email (after 3-4 days of waiting) saying that the service was already active (although the led is still flickering red, but never turns green).
About the installation of the modem, I connected it to the phone line and to the PC. From what I've seen on the installation CD (they only showed me images on how to install the modem) and after they would install some software on my PC (don't think this should be really required) as the modem is connected to the PC trough LAN. On the modem's setup page (192.168.1.1) there are no options related to the adsl connection, only a status page that tells me that the modem is synchronizing or not synchronized but never connected/active.
Please let me know if you've had similar experiences with alice 7 mega and about how long did it take them to activate the service. If indeed the problem is on my end and you know how to fix it, I'd appreciate the help.
You can reply in italian or english or any other language.
