I'm not very knowledgeable on 'captive portals' but since I was in fact able to connect to the internet/use a web browser, I think that the first bug (1245878) is no the same. My issue isn't that the connection wasn't ultimately possible, but that the Ubuntu One sign up process ignored that the connection had been established.

Settings -> Accounts -> Ubuntu One signin reported an error (network or signing, I can't remember). I returned to the browser which led me to the routers page for accepting their T's & C's and the connection became available (I could now browse the web). Returning to the Ubuntu One signin screen, I re-entered my authentication details but got the same error continuously. Rebooting solved the issue. EXPECTED: After establishing the connection, Ubuntu One account signin should have recognised that a connection had become available.
