Network Card
 
Bouyed by the success of installing a USB2.0 card into my PC, I've decided to install a network card to get away from using USB for my broadband connection.

I've seen the following listed on Amazon and just wondered whether this would work -

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...455830-7235620

On a completely different subject, does the 1gb per day download cap on the 2mb service equate to the total uploaded and downloaded or is there a separate cap for each?

Thanks.

Yep, it would, and AFAIK the cap is on downloads only, but if you do upload 24/7 (say, by running a busy website on your connection), NTL will start capping you on uploads as well.

It wasn't , strictly speaking, cap related. The cap was mentioned, but the main query was about buying a NIC.

...just make sure you have a spare PCI slot.

I know-I can read you know. ;)

I just wanted to make the point, so that this didn't turn into a cap discussion thread. :)

http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...4&Cache=0,4907 if you have a local branch the card is a Realtek and has been in my PC about 18 months with no problem look for the one in a white box OEM version

Wish I'd read your post before I went out, just been into PC World and bought the Belkin card at £9.99, while the one on your link is £4.97.

Oh well, its installed and working. Thanks for all the advice.
