Much cheaper in the long run to buy a router.
1 year sub to the console service = £24
Then after two years you'll have spent £48.... and so on.
*Plus* I believe there is also a set-up fee of some sort (well, there certainly used to be).
Whereas you can get a decent router for around 30 quid *one off cost* ! Much better option IMO. Cheaper in the long run, & *very* easy to set up & use. Also gives some room for expansion, in case you ever want to add any more PCs, or a console. Also means you're not at risk of paying for the console service but not actually receiving 2 IP addresses (OK, doesn't happen to everyone, but I've seen more than one thread here where people have had problems with it, & have been paying for it yet only received 1 IP).

Shouldn't be any need to install anything. Once ntl have activated the console service & provided you with a 2nd IP address, it should simply just be a matter of plugging one PC into the ethernet port & one into the USB port (AFAIK).
