stuart, NTL were refusing to supply me with a new STB or a cable modem. i had no option but to buy my own.

as for owning modems, you can buy cable modems brand new from the manufacturer, NTL arent the only supplier of CMs worldwide. its perfectly acceptable to use your own equipment with their service, just needs a bit of reconfiguring to pick up the correct TFTP addresses etc.

however in my particular situation i did indeed buy an NTL:250 and the bloke did sound dodgy
