Thats really just to cover themselves, It's never to my knowledge been
enforced. Considering that when NTL installed the modem in my bedroom I
had 4 computers running in that room alone and that there was Cat 5
running into every room in the house I should imagine that you will be
pretty safe.

When I worked for NTL/Virgin if we did encounter someone running a
network we were just told not to support them, because we didn't have
the training. I just laughed at that and gave support anyway.
