Provide your own modem

If you already own an ADSL modem then you can use it with your iiNet
bliink account, saving you the cost of purchasing a new modem for the
connection.

Please note the modems provided by iiNet are specifically configured for
our network, using other modems may require you to install 3rd party
ADSL connection software which iiNet is unable to provide support for.


Hope that helps
