Is it on their website for Glasgow customers to peruse?

Or is it still in trial phase? ;)

Because ntl, being the complete communications company, will have proactively contacted all the customers concerned & informed them of the benefits of the service that they would soon be offering via VOD, that's how. :erm:

Yeah right!! :D

The picture quality on Telewest is also must better as I personally dont think Amstrad boxes give good pic quality.

We know there is no love lost between yourself and Ntl and there are certainly upgrades that have gone wrong in the past but to write it off without even seeing it is a bit off IMO.

I think you've gotten the wrong end of the stick somewhere m8.....:erm:

I haven't written it off at all, as I said above I think it's a good thing, & trialling it in one area (as opposed to thw whole country) is also a wise move IMO.

Not sure why you think I'm writing it off.....:shrug:
