Not correct. The Telewest version very definitely did have a wireless option. It consisted of Netgear device with heavily modified firmware.

In the NTL Pace boxes the CPU had to service both the Cable Modem and do all the TV stuff so performance was pretty poor due to the CPU.
Later dual CPU TV boxes in NTL were better but then originally had the ethernet port locked to 10Mbits/sec so were useless when 10Meg was introduced.
