Sky broadband with 3rd party router

Sky branded OEM routers hide the PPP username and password from the UI.  The username and password is embedded in the firmware and can be captured by using a packet analyser (Wireshark) to capture UDP Port 67 (DHCP requests).   The router should also connect using a generic login, similar to BT Openworld

username: random@skydsl

password: password (or anything else)

e.g.

User: abcdefgh@skydsl

Pass: 1234567890abcdef
