There is should be no sense in which the Telewest service simply doesn't recognise the router ... the service can't tell what kind of device you have attached. One ethernet-enabled device is pretty much like any other so far as Telewest is concerned.

It does sound like the original router broke down, and has been replaced by another dodgy router. A big coincidence, but not beyond the realms of possibility (could be a bad batch). Do you know anyone else with Telewest or NTL that could try it out? You could even try it on an ADSL connection, if you know someone who has one, so long as the ADSL modem can output to ethernet. If you try it on someone else's connection that should finally settle the issue.
