Ok, NTL it is then.
Can anyone give any hardware tips? I really have no idea. Thanks..
you can buy a wireless dongle for each pc, they are about £15 pounds each give or take. they plug into a usb socket and act as a wireless network card, or if everyone in the house doesnt mind, you can buy wireless network cards for about £14 a pop now, fit one in each PC, configure the ip addys and make sure you use something like WEP to secure your network, you dont want the students next door logging on and steeling bandwidth.
personally though, wireless networks at the moment are more of a "trendy gimmick" than a dependable system, theres still too many problems with the system itself and it can be a real headache. For reliabillity i would use a Wired network.
p.s. i used to work for NTL, if your a student, you can get a 9 month contract. but dont tell them your planning to share out the connection, whilst NTL doesnt say you cant do it, they dont like it when you do
(or at least they didnt when i was there...)
p.s. you can think me for your cheap NTL broadband cost... long story which i got £££0 out of.
