:welcome: to the forum.

I can't answer your question as I'm on ntl, but I'm sure some of the TW people will be able to. :)

Thanks Paul - most of my knowledge is ADSL and Satellite - hopefully i'll gain some extra insights into cable from here. Any newsfeed recommendations are welcome tho.

Your best bet is to reactivate the Giganews account imo

Thanks Zeph - never had any probs when I was with Giga, only reason I left was because they started to supply the Pipex feed...and Pipex as per usual messed that up :dunce:

Most folk join CF for the help but stay for things like the Basement and the Friday quiz.

Hi there

I'm Rob and i'm a refugee from Pipex, I get connected next Wednesday and i'm looking forward to the extra speed :)

One question - what is the BY newsfeed like? I've heard various reports about it from mediocre to bad? I used to have a Giganews account...is it worth reactivating it?

Rob

Refugee, lol.

Anyways welcome to the Telewest "crew", soon to be the NTL crew :P

Hope you enjoy the service, I certainly do :)
