I understand your concerns about hot plugs & fire. I have my modem (& computer, preinter etc) connectd to a surge protector unit which means I can centrally power everything off when I've finished. Much safer!!

That's interesting. Where can I buy one of these?

You can buy these in most electrical stores included the likes of Comet, Dixons, PC World etc

I have a SB4100 that I own, I pay £19.99 for the 600k service. I had to pay the full price including CM rental when I upgraded to 1 Meg, but when the Cap was introduced, I downgraded to 600k again and at the same price of £19.99 per month.

If anyone wants to buy my SB4100 for £150 cash, you are welcome to it. I will go back on 1 meg and have a free rental CM from NTL.
