I'm having NTL broadband installed next week, and I wonder if someone could help... I'm trying to figure out how much new wiring will be needed, where it could run etc.

We don't currently use any of NTL's services, but the previous occupier had Cable TV and Phone. I looked in the external 'grey box', and we have 2 main cables coming 'from the street'. One of these is a standard telephone cable (5 core I think), and is split and routed from the grey box to a couple of (unused) phone sockets. The second is a coax cable, and this is split and routed to 2 internal cable points (while boxes with NTL written on them).

Can someone please tell me which of these 2 connections the broadband service will use? The coax is running already to the correct room, so I hope it is that one! Or is it a third one?

Thanks!
