As simple as clicking on a link Ian: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...78&postcount=1

Getting ADSL is a matter of one phone call to BT, & signing up on the website of the ISP of your choice.

Nothing else needed.

Chrysalis-I'm afraid you appear to be talking nonsense. :)

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)
 

You mean 6% then...

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

And they went to ISPs who introduced caps shortly after :D

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)
 

I'll admit, I have heard BT have been less than cooperative with other ISPs (from reputable news sources)


There's nothing stopping the "better" ISPs advertising.

If no other service were available locally, then NTL would have a local monopoly. There are few places in this country where ADSL is not available. Perhaps where it is not, people should be pressuring BT?
I will agree that changing telecoms suppliers is not easy, but it is possible.

OK....As with Ianauth, not sure where you got the 50% requirment though.. I think NTL would be happy not to make a loss on a customer though.

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)
 

They may have lost market share but look at the increase in customer numbers and revenue. I can't see a loss of 40% of their customers rather a huge gain in the number of customers and that's with increased capping. :D :D :D :D :D :D

What will the next super revelation be, it makes you wonder. :D :D :D

Well in true ntl style they showed up, he asked what needs doing i said i need a sammy and he didnt look happy, he didnt have any samsungs on him and neither did any other installer in the francise. So he gave me another pace stb for no reason to get paid for the job which is fair enough. Said he'd be back later as someone was bringing some sammys down from manchester but never came back. Hope he shows up tommorow now :)

You gotta love this company, no two parts of it communicate with each other they could easily have put samsung needed on the job detail .

Good luck trying to get a samsung in a few weeks there like gold dust now by the looks of things

Well said :clap:




Its all the same wild statements as we have seen before. I am starting to get bored with it now. I dont think i need to bring up the other wild and wacky statements we have been subjected to :) However look at my sig if you do need reminding

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)
 

Totally.

I said this weeks ago and got 3 red reps from the cronies for my trouble. I think since they have realised that one of theirs is worth 1/30th of mine but hey - its fun learning ;)

1 - ADSL isnt available in all cable areas

wait.. it is simple just move house :)

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)
 

Dunno where the 40% came from that number was from somewhere, but 6% was obviously enough to make them revert.

Now I await for the vultures to come in on this mistake and claim everything I say is wrong.

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)
 

Are you for real?
1) Cable isn't available in all ADSL areas either.

2) NTL have a monopoly because some landlords won't allow BT to be installed? But wait! Some landlords won't allow ntl to be installed as well!

3) Might be restricted by parents? I see, so ntl should have their ability to compete restricted by monopolies regulations on the grounds that someone's parents won't allow a competing service to be installed? Like I said earlier, you don't half talk some pure unadulterated crap.

Were you drunk when you wrote that post, since I cannot believe you're actually serious about it.

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)
 

:rolleyes: what! blame the parents for no ADSL!

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)
 

& Vice Versa.

That is just pure, 100% garbage, & by posting such weak replies you are highlighting the fact that you have run out of sensible things to say.

Ah.....diddums.....:cry:

It is if you have half a brain about you. All you need to do is ring BT & get the line taken back, then go onto Pipex/BT's/Nildram website & sign up-it couldn't get much easier, even for someone like you.

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)
 

I do, did you find out how to crash the advert stream which sppeded up the free connection by at least 10% (dead slow to very slow!)

I also had freemail which was email via 0800.

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)
 

I thought the allowance was balanced over a month and not daily, also thought that the higher speed package was getting a higher allowance. Someone enlighten me.
I guess it's pretty pointless staying on the highest tier now since 1.5mb/s is fast enough for me so 2mb will also suffice. No point in throwing away cash. I won't be suprised if a lot of people leave the highest tier and probably the service as a whole when hard capping comes in later in the year if the 1gb per day cap stays and is enforced.
NTL will struggle getting new customers on the two top tiers too where they have a choice of adsl.
According to the Adslguide poll of 15,000 people only 10% of users use less than 1gig/day..strange considering what gets regularly quoted here. Maybe 13,000 people were lying in the poll.

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)
 

Methinks you're confusing 1GB per MONTH with 1GB per DAY in these results
