Considering NTL

I am considering having the £15 per month NTL broadband. As a total non-techie can anyone tell me if I need any extra equipment for my PC to use it and how difficult is it to set up? Also, has anyone got any good or bad reports of this ?
 
I have been using NTL BB for almost 2 yrs with no major problems a couple of outages not worth really complaining about

As for extra hardware it will run with USB or an ethernet card I would recommend you use the network card as it causes a lot less bother and no resources being used.
 
I'm also considering NTL's 600k service.

Does this definetely not require any phone line rental charges or tv subscription charges? Its just a flat £24.99 a month yeah??

Free installation on 600K & 1Mb until 31st Dec. You can also upgrade or downgrade your speed online as long as you keep the higher speed for a minimum 30 days.
 
Just tried order it and all i got was this notify me thing.

ntl:home currently offers Broadband Internet as part of its TV and Telephone packages. If you are looking to order Broadband Internet on its own, we are pleased to announce that this will be available over the coming weeks. If you would like ntl:home to notify you when Broadband Internet is available please complete the form below. An ntl:home representative will then contact you when the service becomes available in your area.

I know ntl is available in my area as i've had the phone and tv deal before. But i just want the standalone net now and i gotta wait <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />
 
Why have i had to fill in a notify me thing, i thought this stand alone was all available now? It's not like NTL aint in my area the blimmin big slab manhole cover with NTL on for my street or area, is 3 foot from my front door!

It is on a roll out doing bits at a time as there are only so many engineers and they could not cope with the demand if it was released all at once.

or you could phone them up and ask.
