First of all apologies - I know there are a few previous threads & I am
about to plough through the archives, I am just away from home for a few
days.... any quick help would be appreciated though.
I'm moving and I now have a choice of ADSL or NTL Cable modem, I know
several here have just taken one or other option. - which would you opt for
given a free choice ? Is there a significant difference in the performance
or features ?
Can I run 'incoming' services ok on both - ie do the providers inhinit
this in any way (dynamic ip expected on both). ?
Can I share my connection across several PC's with both with eg ICS ? (=
I
sort of know about NAT issues as I use NAT currently on my ISDN link).
The cable modem is a little cheaper for me to install as I have cable t=
v
already so it comes in at =A325 vs =A340 month (or less if I buy the
modem)=
.
I am told I can also get a static ip from BT by paying an extra =A310 a
month and becoming a business user.(I think normally you get a USB
connection) - would I then get an ethernet connection and thus make the
sharing of the link across PC's easier ? (Mixed Macs, Linux and Windows).
Knowing the problems dynamic ip causes I might take this option.
TIA Kevin
