    Can someone tell me whether the following is theorethically possible?
    Buy your own cable modem - connect it to the tv output.
    ring NTL - tell them to set u up on their ISP

    Its possible, if ntl cable internet is available in your area. But they would probably make you use their own cable modem anyway.

    do you know where cable is available or do i have to ring the ba$tards myself?

    They dont have "their own" cable modem.

    Mine is a Motorola Surfboard, my mate has something else altogether.

    Gerry they dont mind what you use once its supports their service,
    PS fisty why are they *******s,
    its not their fault they cant provide a two way system to the areas they said they would,
    lets not forget about them being lied to about the state of the network

    apologies, I just *assumed* it would be like america where they force you to use a particular modem, which has preprogrammed settings. My bad smile.gif
