    I'm with Utv now and i'm sick of them for a number of reasons so i'm leaving. I have 2 options, NTL or Metro,At the moment i have a Netgear Wireless Adsl Modem Router which supplies a wireless internet connection to my Mac Mini and Laptop and is connected directly to my desktop pc.How would i continue to keep this setup? How would the Ntl Modem or Metro Modem integrate with my system? Is it just a simple procedure like connecting them to my Router???

    Its just Adsl so i would need a Cable/Adsl modem/router.It doesn't matter now anyway because my area is not upgraded yet to receive NTL Broadband.I ended up going with Metro instead but i'm still wondering how the Metro modem will fit in with my Wireless network :confused: Anyone able to enlighten me on how it would work?????

    You'll need to get a new wireless router, the ethernet from the metro modem will connect to the WAN port of the wireless router, which will share your internet connection with all your computers.

    What router?
    Any from the following page:

    Note these routers are advertised as suitable for NTL cable, but they are also suitable for Metro as long as they have a WAN port.
