  6. In the Service Provider field, enter HuronTel. 

  7. Leave the PPPoE Service Name field blank. 

  8. In the Account Name field, if you are a ADSL Customer, type your This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

    If you are a Wireless High Speed or DSL Customer located in Ripley, Dungannon or Goderich, just type your username (without the @hurontel.on.ca).

  10. Select the Save Password option.
