OK, 3 questions:

1. 54 Mbps is not enough ? The price is double to go to 108 MBps. More than 100 pounds
2. Should i go for a Router with an ADSL Modem as well, or one without ?
e.g. netgear DG834G or WGR614
I dont want to find myself in a situation like i am now, where i already spent 40 pounds around Christmas to buy the switch and now i need to pay again to buy a router ? Is the router+modem the best solution for home - broadband - networking or because usually ISP's provide adsl modem i will probably never need to buy one ?
3. You say Linksys is better than netgear ? A friend of mine has Ntl with a wireless netgear and works fine. Why linksys ? Cheaper? More compatible or better quality ?

thanks a lot in advance
