lo all,
my father in law has ordered NTL 150k service and its being installed at the end of the month.
He has a NTL phone line but no longer uses NTL for his digital TV (got rid of it and now uses sky+).
He was told that the price per month £17.99 includes the cable modem.
What i would like to know is how the cable modem connects to the ntl line - is it wired to the box on the outside of his house, or does it just connect into a phone socket?
If it is just to a phone socket, then does it have to be the master socket, or can it be to any phone extension? - i'd like to know this because i can easily run an extension into the bedroom where the PC is located, however the master socket is @ the opposite end of the house and downstairs, which would be a problem :Yikes:
Is there anything else that i should make him aware of before the bloke turns up at the end of the month?
Much obliged,:)
YW
