I use a linksys router aswell and the gui configuration is simple and
works - if you get the g version u can flash it with a version of linux
if you are so inclined.<br>
<br>
I have used NTL broadband for a few years now without any problems,
their customer service is improving and is nowhere near as bad as it
used to be.<br>
<br>
Plus NTL is going to 10mb soon which will do me until 24mb adsl 2 is available.<br>
