Re: Considering NTL for broadband - the best value for money?
Well, if you're getting NTL broadband an ADSL router won't be much good. You'll be needing a normal router. ADSL router normally has an ADSL modem in it. You'll need one with an ethernet connection in it.

Speed is ok, customer service is hit and miss. When it's going it's ok, but if you get a problem then it's sometimes like banging your head against the wall to try and get it fixed. They will fob you off with several engineer visits before they actually think about getting to the root of the real problem.

Newsgroup servers are practically non-existant, mail is patchy, they use proxy servers so the pages sometimes take time to load and you may have to refresh to make sure you haven't got a cached one.

Oh, forgot, there's a 1Gig a day cap. Not strongly enforced at the moment, but you never know.
