Not sure if this has been done before. Is your Broadband through a Set top box or Cable modem?

Cast your votes now please.

I'll start off with Set top box.

I have no use for NTL DTV, so don't have an STB

Re: I connect to Broadband through a...?

SACM. And if ntl had ever tried to fob me off with a STB connection I'd have been threatening to disconnect from day one. I don't see how they can seriously expect anyone to either run metres and metres of cable round the house, or spend money on WiFi that no-one who doesn't want a home network should need to bother with.

When I became a BB customer towny, there was no such thing as a SACM (in my area anyway). So I've stuck it out with a STB all this time.
