Thanks for the quick replies!

Now more questions! From the box on the outside wall I assume that there will be 3 cables coming out: 75R coax to the set top box, standard 6 core BT cable to the phone socket, and XXX? to the cable modem (what type of cable and how is it terminated? direct into modem or via a socket?)

I only ask because I would prefer to do most of the internal wiring myself before NTL turn up, as I don't want cables run around the skirting, drilled through door frames etc.
Ideally I would like the 3 cables to go into the loft and then down into the relavent rooms via the cables I have already put in in-between the walls (house is wired with video distribution system via loft and telephone extensions are also accessable via loft). The only thing I would have to run is a cable down to the room where the computer is (hence I need to know how it terminates)
