Hello...

Just registered with the cable forum and was hoping someone could provide a bit of advice.

I recently had NTL Broadband installed at home via the set top box (1MB connection). I wouldn't say the connection/download speed has been brilliant so I'm thinking over the idea of requesting the cable modem instead.
Can anyone tell me whether there is a noticable difference (performance wise etc) between connecting via the Cable Modem and a STB.
Also the Cable Modem installation itself...is it pretty much straight forward.

Any advice would be appreciated

cheers
