The "purple box" has 2 ethernet connectors, one for the modem and one for the xbox, the purple box then connects to the modem.
NTL has not stated if they are scraping the 2nd Ip, but i would assume so, if they are cancelling the service and no longer charging the £2 a month extra fee.
Looks like i got some searching to do for a router

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?
