If your house is flood wired for cat 5 ADSL has a slight advantage:
When mine was installed last year I knew that eventually I'd have a router at node 0, but until then the modem needed to be in my study. No problem, the BT engineer installed the ADSL socket in node 0 and I used the existing house cabling to patch thru to the study (it's now back in node 0 as I got a router for christmas;).

the NTL cable modem connection is coax, but at half the price...

Hi All
 
A couple of weeks ago I rang NTL and asked if they could provide cable to the new house. They didn't know as neither the address or postcode were yet on there system.
 
Out the blue NTL rang me today and said yes they could install. SO the big question is Do I go for BT and ADSL or NTL and cable. Your views on costs and performance ?
 
I use a couple of webserver at home (1 for HA) and stream video and audio (security). I think the ADSL upstream is a wider bandwidth than NTL's cable but not sure if NTL offer different packages ?
 
( I already know some of your views on both companies, even just checking today's messages ! )
