O2 Broadband

Thinking of getting this as my next ISP. I note that many are happy with the service. One question I have though is how many Mac users are happy with it.
I notice form the spiel at the end of the Home Broadband Access page that it states;
+O2 Home Broadband Access includes everything you need to get going, including the O2 wireless box, broadband filters and the set up CD.+
Does anybody on O2 BB know if this CD comes with some kind of installer? (You know like AOL used to or NTLs virtual truck).

Thanks.

10. Will O2 Home Broadband work with my Apple Mac?

Yes - and it’s easy to get started, without using our set up CD. All you have
to do is plug everything in and switch your O2 wireless box on. You’ll be
online straight away.

If you want to go wireless or change how your connection is set up, you can
use the O2 Home Broadband advanced settings. And if you need help with
connection problems or your email, you can give us a call.

Call us on 0800 230 0202 or complete the Email Us form.

Most ISPs are Mac compatible, whether they know it or not.

They certainly are now that's for sure

If you get a technical issue with an ISP that doesn't seem to be covered in their help pages, ask in Discussions if someone has found a workaround. Usually it is simply a problem of DNS issues with the modem, or registration of the modem going from one machine to another.

Yep, but again, just wanted to check there was no PC only software to install.

Yes, correct. But I avoided NTL before due to that virtual truck business. Never really looked into them since.
