    With Routers you need the right type for your internet

    BT - ADSL Router
    NTL - DSL/Cable Router

    Tiscalli

    etc ones that come though your telephone line are ADSL

    NTL are a cable system ie it comes thorugh the same cables as NTL TV does is DSL/Cable

    I'm pretty sure you can get AOL through a NTL cable... why on earch you want to I'd never know.

    Simply put if you have an ADSL connection you need an ADSL modem router if you have anytype of conection with which they provide you with an ethernet modem (i.e NTL) you need an ethernet or cable/DSL router
