No problems at all.

No real preferences, just user choice, I use linksys and recommend it, I can also help trouble shoot it better as a result. Others use netgear...

The 300k service only has a 64k upstream, this should be ok for playing in a game, but will not be adequate for hosting games.

Just wondering, when I sign up for XBox live, I'm 16 and have my own debit card (Visa Electron) Would I be able to sign up under my own name? Or do I have to use the name of somebody who is over 18?

Sorry, got another question, since I can't edit my message, how many cables do I need? Do I just need 3? One to connect the Xbox to the Bridge, one to connect the Router to the PC and one to connect the modem to the Router. Am I right?

Yes, but check the boxes... You may well find the bridge comes with a short patch lead. The linksys routers all come with a short 50cm lead so out of the box you can use the NTL cable and plug it into the router, the supplied lead and connect to the PC. They may well include a similar 50cm lead in the bridge kit. So you need to buy no leads as you will have 3.
