When NTL turn up they'll have a modem for you that's assigned to your account. If the computer is all setup for broadband, either USB or Ethernet, then you should be able to just connect it to the new modem and you're away. There's nothing on the computer that links it to a particular modem, nor is there anything on the modem that links it to a particular computer. The modem is linked to your house - or more specifically, your account with NTL which has the address to which the modem is linked.
