My comments were based on your comment (comment without the 's' at the end to make comments, as then I would comment on the whole post).

I think you will find that this is an everyday occurence on forum

What you did there is totally different. You have changed what someone has said and that is totally wrong. Bolding a sentance on which I want to comment on is not in the slightest bit wrong.

I know we dont, I never apart from bolding a sentance. Dont like it, complain to the moderators, but they wont do anything as its a common feature of Internet forums.

People who need to make a point need to do so on their own merits not by changing a post from some one else.. Making one (and only one ) line bold is changing a post. I only changed a few words to make MY point. Oh perhaps I change a font into white (bold of course) would be acceptable.
My point is valid.
You do not change a post >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Whats your problem? Your original message is still [COLOR="Red"]exactly[/COLOR] the same. Its not my problem that you have a problem with it, no one else does. Maybe if its that a big of a problem, you dont belong on forums as, yes it does occur every day and yes it is ok to do it.

Do what you like to my post as long as you dont change what I have written, I couldnt give a poo to be honest, the original message of yours is still there for everyone to read without me bolding one line :rolleyes:

Well done I hate that smiley, your the one person ever on the internet to make me use it.

However the multiple of systems NTL were working on could have been intergrated (have not VM done this)
Migrating systems is still ongoing and is a painfull process for customers and staff.
It just seems to me (only my opinion) NTL senior management had no contact or control over the front line staff and as such ignored the problems the billing and provisioning system was causing the customer.

It was not luck TW chose ICOMS but more perhaps good leadership/
Poor leadership and weak management led NTL into the state they found themselves in.
I am really sad to say VM are following in the footsteps of the old NTL.

I hope I am wrong but only time will tell

Also, although I haven't tracked it, how many of the board come from either of the two previous cable companies?

I am pretty sure quite a few of the internet lot are from what was telewest. The TV STB software is ex-telewest code, the billing system is ex-telewest etc.

So Virgin Media is more telewest than ntl

As far as Im aware though, all or most of the big bosses were all from the NTL side, it was just they took over some of the stuff that was done better from Telewest. Even so, Telewest were a much smaller company than NTL and as such Id say the company that merged as NTL:Telewest was mainly managed by NTL.

Apart from Neil Berkett there is currently no-one on the Virgin Media managment board that worked for ntl (just checked) They either worked for Telewest or outside companies.

There are few in regards to ntl:telewest business, but we are talking about residential here.

Everytime you ring, you get a diffrent reply ! and that person will say the other person is wrong AND he is right.

He/She is only right if you like whats being said :) else blow them out and ring up again and get someone who knows even less :)
