we got it installed recently. yes it comes through the cable line.
We had 3 NTL points in the house but they can only install the broadband at one point. They give you a modem and wired router. I asked him for a wireless one but they didn't have that, so shortly after bought a wireless router for about 80 euro.
*******************************
on another 'kinda' related issue. I got a good deal from NTL, first 3 months broadband are free. So can i cancel after 3 months and then my housemate sets up a new NTL account in his name, and we start again with the free broadband? Has anyone done this? It sounds too easy....
