I definitely agree with MGP

The NTL Console service is really unnecessary...even at the new price of ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£2/month.

It doesn't give any extra bandwidth, all it gives is a 2nd IP address (& tech support...but I don't see the need for that).

If you have a router already, then there is absolutely no need for NTL's extra Console service - the router will be able to share the normal single-IP connection for you between the PC, XBox, etc.

I use a router for my PCs & XBox, & have never bothered wasting money on the Console service. I know plenty of others who also do not use the Console service, as they know it's a waste of money.
