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
Also your STB is normally near your Set, not your PC. Elegant solutions requiring customer spend to integrage CAT5 into the house or buy wireless, often a fairly unattractive box to sit near the TV, emmitting microwaves that can interfere with the picture.
