So all those years ago NTL gave you the choice of connecting by USB or purchasing an ethernet card off them.
They certainly did, I got that offer too but since I built the PC it was linking to and I was the person who wanted the BB connection I had already purchased the necessary hardware and just needed the STB enabled. Just means that I never got to play with the USB connection on my set up but I have had to sort a few out for friends etc
