Re: New Installation

Hi, i'm looking to have 512K broadband installed. I'm currently on 56K, but NTL have recently started sending offers for the 512K service (which is just £1.50 more than what i pay for their 56K service every month).
I read Rob C's post about installation with interest, my main query is, will the installer provide the ethernet cable required to run from the MODEM to the PC (or in my case a Wi-Fi router), or will i have to purchase the cable seperately?

I want the broadband MODEM relatively close to the living room TV/DVD/Hi-FI power strip, but with the ethernet cable running behind the furniture, up to a high vantage point for good Wi-Fi coverage (in my case, the top of a display cabinet).
Also, i want to use Buffalo Wi-Fi equipment (Router, PC cards for my laptops, and NIC for the desktop computer), will the installer be bothered by this, or do they just install the equipment and go? Also are there any compatibility issues with Buffalo wireless equipment, and the NTL broadband service that i should know about?

Cheers,
NST
