We are looking to reduce monthly expenses and was thinking of just going Freeview instead of Sky but then I got to thinking about going NTL to save even more cash.

Zen internet = £35 / month
BT = £30 / quarter (linerental)
Sky = £17.50 / month (ish)

total = £750 / year

NTL = £30 / month

total = 360

1) Do you have to pay BT line rental with NTL?
2) Can you keep your BT number?
3) Whats the NTL service like?
4) I assume I will have to buy another router as my ADSL one will be no use but what connection do you get in your house? i.e. do you get a socket on the wall that you plug into your router and another you plug into your phone?
5) Do they cap their internet connections?

Sorry for the noob questions, just a few that their website can't answer

1) No
2)Yes but you need to confirm this with NTL who will do a mobility check for the port.
3) Yes, they will supply uou with a Cable Modem, you will need a router such as the WRT54GL
4) They have an FUP (read port throttling)

Search on the forum and you'll see the specifics.
