Being a non-bb'er at the minute, we're going to get broadband installed shortly (the 10mb variant from BY/Telewest). I need to know what connection the modem uses to talk to the outside world, I think it's the same F-Connector that the old TV service came through, but I'm not sure.

Can anyone who has it upload a photo of the connections on the back of the modem? I know the one to the computer is a RJ45 Ethernet plug, but the input is the one that is a mystery at the minute. Reason being I already have a Telewest TV link in two rooms of the house (now redundant cos the CATV service is pants) and it would save a lot of time and hassle if I knew it was being reused rather than rewired

Cheers!

No photo from me, but yes it's the F connector that supplies the signal to the modem which then fiddles around with it, computer/router plug in to a rj45.
