Basically this is a suckup, new fanboy post ;)

Just swapped from ADSL, new gaff, new cable, works fantastic so far for me. I get a bare minimum of 450KB down on my line, it's great, customer service were also cool, solved my problems fast, good job all.

Only problem so far is that the Webstar Modem sucks lol. I've worked round that so far though.

I knew I preferred cable ;)

ps, the installation guys were fantastic, did their job very well.

Do I sound insanely happy yet, I am lol (no I don't work for telewest).

glad that you are happy :)

What do you mean when you say the Webstar modem sucks? and how have you worked round it...?

well technically it probably doesn't, but I would have liked some router functionality off of it, rather than a simple passthrough. I am currently running 2 NICs in my server and connection sharing that way, I'll get a non-adsl router asap, as that won't play ball either.

Linksys WRT54G would be my recommendation

I would only accept a moto, they got nice small black ones, they have stoped using them cheap nasty ones that fall over (wont sit up straight) as they are problematic.

When I got my BY last November they told me the Motorola is the only one they use. I hope it stays that way, it is a quality product and everyone should use it!

They use both Motorola and Webstar modems but in the past year or so they have only been distributing Motorola modems as the Webstar DPX100 and DPX110 have USB problems with XP but the latest Webstar doesn't have these problems. Even know personally I prefer Motorola.
