Default NTL as ISP? Good or Bad?

Have been told that NTL is available in my area (not checked it out myself personally tho, so this may all be academic really) and I think they might be the ones to go with. Not the cheapest @ £17.99 a month for 2mb broadband, but I am told it is 100% uncapped with no fair usage policy (ie, if I download like a whore, I won't get any hidden charges or suffer having my speed cut down)

But what are NTL like as an ISP? Reliable? Not had cable internet before, only phone line ADSL - what do I need in terms or modem, router etc? Currently it will only be for one PC, but at some point I would like a cheapo laptop to use wirelessly - how upgradeable is cable broadband?
