This sin't a new idea infact when I had BB fitted by NTL when it was first available in Manchester the letter asked if we wanted the engineer to bring an ethernet card with him but we had to fit it. I didn't orfer the ethernet card as I had just taken delivery of a new pc and didn't want to void its warrenty so went the USB route. The price for the ethernet at teh time was rather dear as I had seen them in the shops cheaper except for staples who seemed to match NTLs quote.

So all those years ago NTL gave you the choice of connecting by USB or purchasing an ethernet card off them.
