No, they can't - they want to get the router and the firewall out of the system to eliminate them as possible causes of your trouble.

Re: Can ntl access my pc?
if they did, there'd be some pretty big lawsuits on the horizon!

They have reporting tools that can access information Via the UBR's as to the status of your modem, send recive levels ect and they will have the MAC address of the modem and ip ect but are not able to access your PC, unless like anyone, has alot of time on there hands to do so and know how to do it.

More like:
PC linked to STB, STB linked to internet.
Hope you turned on your firewall again after NTL tech support ended the call otherwise NTL accessing your PC is the least of your worries
