NTL cable works well here. I get up to around 70k according to Voyager.
My impression is that the server at the other end is almost always the
limiting factor.
All it needs is MiamiDx and a Zorro ethernet card. Possibly a PCMCIA
ethernet would work too.
Now and then stops working for 20 minutes - presumably due to
maintenance or something at the NTL end. Basically it is connected all
the time. Reconnecting takes about a second.

Absolutely no need for an AmigaOne to access cable.
