I guess that they would need another cable coming into the house if they switched. At the moment only one cable comes into the house into the back of the PACE box.

With it not being my house and subscription it is difficult talking with customer services who want to speak to the bill payer. I will have to see what deal they are on at the moment and compare with the 3 for £30 deal like you suggest.
Thanks
You are spot on, the cable box has a built in modem and the wireless kit acts as an access point.

If you call customer care when the account holder is with you then they can authorise you to speak.

Hope this helps!
