As far as ntl are concerned, you are currently paying for only one cable modem service. If you want another you need to be paying ntl for that extra one, in which case ntl would supply the extra modem and pieces needed. However ntl rarely allow to modems on one account for the same property.

You cannot buy ntl Set Top Boxes, or Modems from anybody, legally. They are only now hired by ntl as part of a current service agreement, and if your contract ends, such things should return to ntl. Anybody who claims to be able to sell ntl modems or STBs is doing something naughty.

Your house may be wired with two cable connections, but possibly a previous occupier had a modem on one Set Top Box on another.

Your best bet is to set up a home network, perhaps with a router.
