Re: What cable between box and modem?

It is usually coax cable, 75 ohm impedance, of a very high grade, similar to that used for satellite downlinks, usually dual-screen. F-type connectors are crimped on to the cable.

You are allowed to use only the cable modem supplied by NTL. If you want a router, you purchase a router with an ethernet WAN port to connect to the ethernet port of the NTL cable modem. NTL cable broadband is not ADSL, and so combined ADSL modem-routers (of the type commonly available on the domestic market) do not work with NTL broadband.
