Yeah, I've got it - cracking package. Could never go back to dial-up / telephone internet now.

I use ADSL at work, which is slightly better (lower contention ratio), but I'd say DEFINITELY got for broadband cable - I haven't had any down time since it was installed earlier this year.

BT are set to lower the price of ADSL in the next couple of months. More info at

Seriously thinking of getting it,

you get phone line, broadband connection, and basic TV package (includes ITV2 for you GP fans) fro £40 per month, £35 if you buy the cable modem yourself

seems a good offer to me?

Yep I've got it.

I have had some hassles with it, the most notable being a 4 day outage. NTL refunded me my entire months rental as compensations.

When it works it's excellent, when it does'nt(IMHO this is rare) it's a real pain because the engineers are busy and you may have to wait a day or so to get one AND dial up seems such a pain the butt afterwards.

Go for it.

Yep, I have it too. Only problem was setting it up due to my OS but the helpdesk were most helpful. Not had any problems yet and it flies.

I have the Telewest Cable package too, and as I do have their TV & phone it is only £25 http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Considering I used to pay £12 for a 56k Pipex Dial connection, and this is ten times the speed, always on, I say go on, you have to do it !!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Telewest good - I'm now £42 for phone, cable and 28 channels - result.
Plus a solid 70k/sec from a good site.

btw telewest shares are 10p - they've got to go up!!
