Re: BT or NTL

[Alan Shields <alan@xxxxxxx>]

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...
