Hi,

I am considering VM cable internet (I've never previously been an VM or NTL customer), but I am somewhat put off by the minimum requirement being Windows or Mac OS 9.

Is anyone using linux exclusively (i.e. no Windows sometimes) with their cable modem?
How did you get around the CD setup?

What happens, on the hopefully rare occasions, when you need to report a fault with the service?

PS I had thought it was going to be easier to get ADSL, because there are some ISPs who don't have any issues with non-Windows users, but my BT line is on fibre at some point, which means no ADSL.
