Hi.

Usually, the bt.com access and your BTinternet/BTYahoo! will be different - but they could easily be the same if set up for you.

The MyBT access is via "this" service you are on now, i.e. bt.com - and you can get there by clicking :-

https://www.bt.com/appsyouraccount/secure/cyahub.do

(but may need logging in)

When you try to login to email, try this http://mail.yahoo.com, and when it asks for your Yahoo! ID, enter the full btinternet email address (including @btinternet.com) and password you were given.

Was yesterday the actual date the service was supposed to start ?

Thanks for your reply Andy,

my service did start yesterday, i had openreach come in and install modem and home hub, i know i am actually using BT's infinty service as the previous speeds i were getting were less than 1 mbps and am know getting 33 mbps.  Its as though the my bt service and email service is not active.

they were also the two sites that i were trying to access from.

Clearly you have access to bt.com, in order to post to these forums , so I suppose you set up a new access in order to post.

I agree - it does seem like your email service is not currently active. It may perhaps be ready in a couple of days. Hopefully a Mod can take a look for you if they read this thread.

I didn't realise that "they" issued users with a bt.com access, but maybe you need to register that account ?

Thanks for that Andy, having reread the letter i have registered my account with the email adress that i set up on ordering.  Its not actually clear that its not to access My BT.  But it should be active as it says that important information regarding my account will be sent to that email add.
