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!
