Here it is -
User Policy & use of routers:

Quote:
20. Use of the Network (Broadband services)
You are permitted to use routers, and the connection of a dedicated hardware router or firewall shall not be considered a PC for the purposes of this section.

As for the use of consoles...
I take...
"You may only connect XBox gaming consoles to the NTL network using a designated Xbox compatible broadband access product."
...to mean that my XBox connection method (I use a Linksys WRT54G) is OK wrt the AUP, because the router in question has been
designated as
XBox compatible by Micro$oft (the AUP doesn't say it has to be "designated" by NTL!
).
But, like you say, NTL won't know that you have an XBox connected unless you tell them, & they don't seem to force people to use the Console service.
