But it costs millions to improve their network, buying the site cost them a few thousand. They probably spend more on pens every year. It's small change to them. They could buy thousands of sites like that and still not make an impact on the funding needed to upgrade.

Suggest you get your facts rights there.

Matty is not as far as I know an NTL Employee unless he has had a job thrown into the buyout deal.

Ramrod,

it costs less to perform routing maintenance during slack system hours than to pay an engineer to do an emergency repair during peak hours and then compensate the people who complain about loss of service.

This would be a more valid expenditure of funds....


Buying another site which is against them is a waste of funds, makes more sense to start to rectify the problems...

I am sure even Andre would agree that the best possible result would be to see this site, and the other sites rendered redundant by NTL actually getting things sorted out.

I totally agree. My only point was that it is a drop in the ocean for them.

Sorry to bring this topic up again but.....

The interesting part is...


Status: PROTECTED
Note: To help prevent malicious domain hijacking and domain
transfer errors, the registrar has protected the registrant
of this domain name registrant by locking it. Any attempted
transfers will be denied at the registry until the registrant
requests otherwise. The registrant for the name may unlock
the name at any time at the current registrar in order for
a transfer initiation to succeed

Matty has protected the domain name, thus making it non transferable at this time.....
