i signed up today, never used any connection tool, just put in the generic adsl username and password in my router, restarted router, opened a browser, it then asked me for my username and voucher number for the 30 day pass thing, then off i went, no issues, and i'm on linux. No tools installed. Seems to work pretty good, good speeds etc, thats 14/GB = R398 for 27GB. No contracts, unshaped.
