Both NTL and Telewest used to supply broadband through the set top boxes.
The advantage at the time was they also gave you a wireless access point at a time when wireless wasn't really offered.
Now though I think it's more a disadvantage as our broadband speeds get higher and higher. The Telewest ones were restricted to 1Mb, while the NTL can go as high as 6Mb.
