A few things that I read suggest that NTL isn't the most reliable solution. i.e. lots of downtime. Can anyone tell me from the 'horse's mouth?' Many thanks Ed |

NTL Cable Modems From: Liz the Squeak This is NTL that bill themselves as the Total Cable Service Provider, - the same company that parks a van at the top of my road every night - the same company that doesn't run a service down that same road, in an not particularly bad area of London!!!!

NTL Cable Modems From: clansfolk Let me know how you get on - we're thinking of adding a cable modem (Telewest) as they've just dropped the price to £25 and as we're on 7/24 at £10 - thought it might be worth the investment! (My son certainly wants it!!!!!!) Take care and "Good luck" Pete |
