yeh but they'll make up some "mystery hacker" story to cover themselves.

Damn shame they don't have a decent customer SLA, we should get refunds for this p*ss poor service

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
 

ntl broadband internet customers maybe expereincing slow / intermittant browsing. This is due to a network fault. Our engineers are working to resolve this issue. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
 

Well I've taken great pride in cancelling TV, Broadband and Telephone services with NTL this evening. I'm sick and tired of the p**s poor service they provided, we spend £84 a month on their services collectively and for that sort of money you expect something a little better than this. I just hope more people do the same before they get bummed senseless by this poor excuse for a service provider. And my god! Don't get me started on their tech support! I work in customer services and if we had call waiting times and staff attitudes like that we'd not be operating any more!

Sorry for just registering to post this one message but I felt I needed to vent somehow so you poor chaps have had to bare the brunt of it all because let's face it, I'm not going to be able to get through to their tech support line to do so, am I?!

Good luck to all who are still with them and congratulations to those who've left!

Cheers,

Danny.

I admit they took almost a month to fix the problems in one of the green cabinets in my street but I have never had a problem getting through to tech support.

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
 

Had the same problem as everyone else but everything seems to be absolutely fine now.

It's been a joke! All I kept getting was engaged tones and some bint saying "you're hearing an engaged tone". YEAH, LIKE I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU 'TARD!!! :mad:
