Re: modem upgrade
As far as I know, You will only need a new modem if yours has become faulty or if you require a speed that requires one of the newer modems.
NTL will supply you with one free.

Re: modem upgrade
If you are on the 10mb service, then yes it is not going to serve you much good and you would need a new modem (ntl:250) from NTL.
For 1mb or 2mb you will be fine with this (NTL Home 100) modem still.

Not true I am sorry to say. Ambit 100/120/150/200/250's will all support 10 Meg service.
Motorolla 3100/4100 will not get the full throughput as the ethernet connection on the modem is a 10baseT.
As far as the 20 Meg service goes, 150 is the oldest modem you can use on this service, the 200 and 250's should work no problems at all.
