I know I'm mad for even suggesting it, but for £2 more you could get double the speed with AOL
You just have to weigh up who's the worst, AOL or NTL
and just don't install
any of the AOL software if you can avoid it.
Alternatively for £3 less you can get what will be 750kbps with NTL (eventually), though your upstream will be half the speed it was with ADSL.

Not really a waste of time for those who don't want NTL's TV service
And besides the dedicated cable modems are capable of up to 30Mbps (theoretically), and I know for a fact they work fine at 3Mbps
. They're also a damn sight smaller than an STB
