Yes, one line, one modem. The modem has a unique code number. without that unique number (called a MAC Address) being registered to your address by NTL, the NTL network will not supply broadband services to that modem. And if it is registered with NTL, you will pay for it.

But as others have already said, this is the worst possible way to try to do it anyway. Buy yourself a cheap router and share the connection you already have.
