I believe the only time NTL or Telewest will charge is when your house is broken into and the modem stolen. They have also been known to charge you if you cancel your contract and don't return their equipment.
In both cases, I don't believe the charge is anywhere near £250. In the first case (the burglary), you should be covered by house contents insurance anyway.
to the forums, as well.
One thing to bear in mind is that niether NTL nor Telewest sell modems currently, so by buying one, you could potentially be buying stolen goods. This act is illegal, and as such we do not allow discussion about it on this site.
