RE: BT or NTL

["Aidan Williamson" <fluff@xxxxxxx>]

Except of course the NTL has RJ45 out so can be patched in wherever you put it...

so if you have a flood wired house the NTL box can go in the main room (lounge for most at a guess) and the router anywhere where there's a port, just need a crossover on one of the patches.

 

I currently have no router so the NTL box goes straight to my network card via a crossover into the fixed cat5.

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...
