PS1, "Ntl s latest installation software(V3) will carry out all (4 i think) required tests as soon as you run it. You will still be able to use ntl bb if you were to only meet 2 or 3 of the minimum requirement but then this would reflect in your speeds.Obviously you will be hopeing to meet all 4.
"
I was hoping to avoid using NTL's software as my router will be linked to the cable modem rather than my Mac. Would I be better off using the software and connecting directly to test it out forst before involving my router? Is the engineer likely to be happy to sit around while I run these tests and fix any problems, or will he want to shoot off as soon as the line is installed?
