So, just to get this correct, you guys are using your own wireless modem+router, rather than the router provided by NOW.

Apparently so - but to get it all down to one box you need a router with an ADSL modem.
Bear in mind also that not all PCCW connections are on ADSL - some are on VDSL.
Many people (me included) just go with the PCCW DSL (non-wireless) modem and stick their own wireless router on the back.
Sorry to be digging up an old corpse here, but I'm very much interested in this topic.
Hi DaManJ,
Are you still doing the above? Is it still working?
I should get my PCCW connexion during the week, and I was planning to buy my own modem/router to replace the one they supply and play a bit with OpenWRT or something like that.

Same here - any particular reason that any standard ADSL combined router + modem + wifi box won't work on PCCW ADSL?
If I'm not mistaken you have to use their router for Now tv. I just disabled wifi on their router and use my own router for everything else except Now tv.
I did ask if I could get rid of their router but they said it won't work if I do that.
