Am having NTL install cable broadband soon (just broadband, no TV and no telephone).
I've noticed in a couple of threads that you install software on your pc from a setup disk but this slows your pc down.
Is it possible to connect to the NTL network without using this disk? or does it install necessary connection software? (With Telewest you just plug your pc into the modem via ethernet cable and away you go).
Sorry if this question seems a bit thick!

All you need to do is activate your cable modem by going to ntl's autoreg site at https://autoreg.autoregister.net or https://62.253.162.131.

Do you need to use another connection (eg at work) to do this or does the modem allow you to visit certain sites even if it's not been set up properly.
I'm thinking of going with NTL when I move house in a few weeks, and since I use a Mac at home I'm guessing I'll need to manually configure my modem.
You can access the registration page only before the modem is fully activated.
Just remember to reboot your modem/set-top box and pc afterwards.
Don't do it - they are rubbish!!!
The alternative is to go with freeview and Bt broadband. The 3 for £30 seems like a great deal for my uses.
The alternative is to get a SKY dish and I will not be doing that to the front of my house!
In the end I found the manual link.
