HI Ghost

Your ping wont be any different with a business cable connection or residential, a Small/Medium business would use the same circuits as a residential customer, you will very likely be on the same UBR so your connection wont be noticeably different. There will also be STM with business connections very soon, so not really worth switching your connection (its also more expensive).

Best bet is to check the ntl:Telewest business website for full information, especially on call tariffs.

For equipment, you would receive an Ambit 256 modem for either residential or business install (I think in ex-Telewest regions there are still some Scientific Atlanta 2100 modems kicking around though).

My opinion, stick with residential, you will get a better deal, go for business if you want an awesome fault SLA as part of your package.

Hope this helps!
