Ok Then - what product do you recommend i buy? I thought about Business Cable from NTl - that has no restrictions - or at least i dont think it has. Is that then not plugged into a normal ubr as well or is this connected a different way. If i payed for the business Cable modem - if i download and upload (which i dont - just using it as a point) - will i then not effect anybody in my area?

Maybe the other soloution is for me to pay for Leased line- so lets see how much this would cost me:-

2mbit leased line
Setup Charge - £1000 + VAT
Monthly Fee - £650 + Vat

Also require a router for that - £700 + VAT

A Business can afford to pay those prices - me as a home user cannot (wish i could) - all im saying is that from one end of the scale to the other its a vast gulf - pity i never lived in a Bulldog area - they use the speed they get from business to allow home users to have a much fatser connection off peak for a lot cheaper then the prices above.

NTL remind me of a HUb (remember them) beofre switches became cheap - the more people transfer at once - the overall speed slows down. What Happens when NTL reach there limit on the current technology? They will have to upgrade everything in the ground or be left behind basically i guess.
