I have just set up my new wifi home line to replace the copper one, and the telephone part sets up perfectly, but when I tried to set up my Slinshot ISP on the modem, it won't connect and I get a message saying that my internet service has been blocked. Yet, with my other Spark ASDL modem on the copper landline, I have no problems at all. Any suggestions?

Probably best to keep it in the same thread?

As stated in the other thread, You appear to have a slightly complex setup that probably shouldn't have been switched over to wireless (Spark dont know this, As far as they see you just have a copper landline)

As above.

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.
