NTL broadband uses USB IIRC

They send their customers those USB adapters but i prefer to use a ethernet card than NTL`s adapter and their crappy cd which still they keep teling people they must use the cd which is total lies,

The CD is designed for PC muppets. people who should realy put their PC in a box and send it back to pc-world.
You wonder why you cant get through to the helpline.
Its because of these thick people. But you cant say that to them when they are paying you £40 a month.

The CD is designed to help stop fraud. The DHCP severs are configured to look for the MAC address of the modem.
If the Server finds a Unregistered modem during a sweep it will block that mac address.
It will take you to the autoreg site where you enter the MAC address of the modem.

Unless you know the URL of the Register Site you have to use the CD.

If the MAC is not registered the regsiter is the only one you will be able to connect to.

There is no cable modem
It comes through the NTL STB

You living in an old cable and wireless franschise area. With cable and wireless STB's.

Diamond cable (ntl) does not use STB's with the modems built in.
