I would avoid messing with the main cable as that can cause further problems.

You can however use Ethernet cable and leave your NTL modem where it is and then just use a long cable to your computer.
I have one going from downstairs into my attic. As long as you keep it under 100 metres you should have no issues.

Alternatively if you dont like wires, go wirelesss with a Wifi PCI card in a spare PCI slot in your PC and then put a Wireless router connected to you modem.

If you wanted NTL to change the connection point for you they would charge you.
