Tracked him by his email address I assume. It must have been a moderator I take it that flagged it upto the bosses ?

Re: Sacked by Ntl.
 

I don't want to go into too many details but apparently it was from the ip address that posted on the site. This was then traced to my cable modem mac address. But like I said there is more to this than meets the eye. Can't say too much yet but will keep you posted.

Re: Sacked by Ntl.
 

The e mail address was not registered to me, hence 1 count of gross misconduct. Count 2 was bringing the company name into disrepute and count 3 was the releasing of privelidged information about the new freedom software.

Counts 2 & 3 no way but count 1 I fully hold my hand up to.

Re: Sacked by Ntl.
 

Sorry to hear you`ve lost your job.
I`ve read your posts for a while now and found them to be informative. So it appears you cant even say the truth nowadays, even if it is about the company you work for. Very sad

Commiserations ntlrebel:(

Re: Sacked by Ntl.
 

Number 3 seems a little strange to me given that here
http://www.theregister.com/content/6/33404.html

NTL have given a statment that the process of moving users to the new dialer was begun in APRIL of this year.

I find it hard to see how you were releasing 'priveledged' information when you posts was made 6 months ish after the change was implemented. Was it priveledged infor to those users changed in April as well or are NTL simply misleading the register? Either way somethig seems less that right there.

Re: Sacked by Ntl.
 

NTL Rebel, sorry to hear you got kicked out. Hope you find a job soon.

Re: Sacked by Ntl.
 

The company is doing enough of that itself. :D

Re: Sacked by Ntl.
 

This sounds to me as though NTL have overstepped the bounds of reason if they have been investigating you in this manner. I would be researching my rights under the DPA in this instance.

Re: Sacked by Ntl.
 

Shouldnt put NTL staff off from posting here, as ntl have absolutely no ability to get hold of the IP logs for this site ;)


Sorry to hear ya got the sack....... take em to tribuneral and rinse them!!!!

The comments you posted were of a personal opinion, which had no libelous content towards the company. Heck you even logged in using your personal account (non CLT account)

If you didnt work for NTL, what would they have done then? started a case against you??? i think not......

Again, i say take em to court, theyve been pedantic,,,

Personally i just feel this adds more fuel to the closure of .com..... its going to happen, its so obvious.... slowly knocking the teams away...... :(

But at least were here :D

Re: Sacked by Ntl.
 

Sorry to hear your bad news NtlRebelReborn - I am still puzzled why the email addie was such a big deal, as well?

Re: Sacked by Ntl.
 

Out of interest, when did ntl trace your IP address?

Re: Sacked by Ntl.
 

Hmm...we were discussing NTL employees this morning in this thread:
http://forum.nthellworld.co.uk/showp...1&postcount=86

I'm sorry to hear that you were let go mate. :(
NTL employees are 100% secure by posting here (as long as they don't use their real names) because our webhost has already had to put up with the annoying experience of NTL sending the boys round this week (read Frank's blog).

Re: Sacked by Ntl.
 

If you insist on posting comments such as

On a site owned by the company that paid your wages then I'm sorry but you must have expected something like this to happen.
