The TV/Data connection from the ntl box on the wall is used for both internet or cable box use.

Both data types use the same connector on the filter ntl provide (for splitting FM signals from TV & Digital Data)

Provided she has TV, there is the connection right there for broadband too! (although you may be in need of a splitter to use the internet at the same time as the tv, unless you have another connection box in the house for tv/data - another room for example)

Plug it in, as suggested above a mac change will be required, and voila!

The mac won't be the same if its a modded modem. But, i do believe you will still need a mac to change the modem to for the area you take it to.

So, perhaps see if your gf mum can get you a mac address from that area for it.

Hi toxic

Unfortunately my knowledge of cable modems and their configuration etc, ends here.

I only know of the information i gave you through reading other posts. I hope someone will be able to help you with mac editing, try looking for posts regarding modem config editing etc in the forum - i have seen similar posts with the information you will need.

is it ex ntl/c&w or tw?

if its the first 2, then you should get the VM registration page?

post whats happening.

Hi I think it was NTL cant say 100% when I set the modem up to the laptop all I got was the Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage screen nothing from VM at all.
Maybe its down to the mac on the modem as it looked odd to me
