OK, apparantly I can get broadband in Norwich with NTL now, has anyone had any experience with them? I'm thinking more of the technical side of things. I've been informed that NTL uses some gizmo on the phone line so you just plug it straight into a NIC and not a modem, so I'm *guessing* that there wouldn't be any problem.
The set top box has an ethernet port on the back, so you just use a normal NIC in your PC and plug into that and do DHCP stuff. However be warned that there's a month wait for installation slots at present.

is a very useful site about the various setup bits; the Pace STB is what's used in Norwich (or at least, what I have).
