I'm sure someone who knows will advise you regarding the "ethernet" connectition but AFAIK they only supply USB and you have to get your own ethernet cable. (I may be talking out of my backside though).

You are, ours came with both although the ENET cable was paingully short and now I have a 15 m XOVER between the SACM and the router.

Forum at your service... people do have lives and I personally have been at work all day, give them time and they'll come on.

i am from the same area & an ethernet cable & usb cable do come with the modem.

Connection is usually very good (there have been a few glitches just recently, but i am informed its to do with upgrades taking place)

NTL B/Band runs thru the same cabling as the TV service & does not go anywhere near the telephone system! (If i had a quid for every time i've explained that to a customer cause they think it runs thru the phone,i'd have about a grand in the bank!)
The best way for the engineer to run the cable would be externally from the grey box on the house wall to the bedroom.Spike

Don't the phone, tv and bb all share the same cable, but the bb works in the same manner as the cable tv?

Umm... it was just a joke.. I wasn't actually being impatient.

Thank you for all the other input, I am definitely a lot clearer about the whole process now!

TV and BB share the same physical cable, the phone cabling is 'siamesed' onto the coax

They supplied both USB and Ethernet to me...
