There are several instal charges ranging from:
£0.00 (self instal)
to
£100 (Barron McCann will attend your property and install the
ethernet card in your computer. They will then run an ethernet cable
to a point near your computer. Finally, they will guide you through the
registration process and give you a brief training session on how to
use the service)
> 2)£20.00 if you own it *OWN WHAT*
Own your own stand alone cable modem, which can be bought for
approx. £150, but ex cwc subscribers don't have the option
of an external modem, only via the digital stb.
> or 3) £25.00 to rent it from ntl.
£25 to rent a stand alone cable modem from ntl (not for ex cwc)
or
£25 to use the service via the stb (ex cwc only)
