There are several members on this site who have gotten NTL to install to Cable Modem broadband services in one house, it usually requires the start of a new contract however. The easiest way for your means would probably to be get a router (Wireless if the Out-building is within range) and if it isnt within range, bury a shielded CAT5 cable in trunking down the garden. (I wouldnt recommend Unshielded as it isn't as strongly built and is affected by interference)

Going down the 2-modem route will mean that you will be paying 2 Broadband bills but the device connected to each Modem will get its own IP and bandwidth.
