Re: NTL Console Service Removed!

if so...crap...going to have to invest in a router
Frankly, if this is what NTL is telling you, it's about time. The console service was always a totally unnecessary rip off. You never needed a second IP to make your Mac and your Xbox work at the same time and you would have been better off buying a router at the outset instead of paying NTL anything!

Not being a user of this service though, what is the purple box? Might it work as a router in the absence of the service? And have they actually said they are withdrawing the second IP?
