NTL : "I'm Happy" :)
 

Probably not the right place to PRAISE NTL, but I am happy
with 'em :)

56k Dial-up has connected FIRST TIME for as long as I
can remember, now :)

I regularly get 44,000 - 45,333 connection, sometimes 48,000
late evening on :D .... ic24 / Virgin varied 31,666 - 42,666 MAX :(

DIS-connections also seem fewer and far-er between :)

and .... apart from the occasional 20-30 minute
period late at night when "The Computer You Are Dialling Didn't
Answer! .... (Maintenance, maybe) .... the only other message I've
had is "Logging on to network" ...

I used to connect at 38,000 when i was on dial up. Used to always connect first time. My biggest pet annoyance was the 2hr cut off. I've been on BB 12 months now so things have remained ok i see.:)

I've been forced onto freedom whilst waiting for someone to dig up the A road outside my house to lay a new pipe (long story, don't ask!), and have to say it's been pretty constant connections of 46-48k, with one or two at 52k!

Freedom. Isn' t that a George Michael song. :D

It's easy to be happy with dialup because the service is so out of date that nobody expects anything great from it. Get broadband and live life in the fast lane :p Dialup should be outlawed :rofl:

If ever there was an award for the most number of smilies in a post, I think I know who would walk it :D

Actually I'm moving on saturday and NTL will be installing that day, let's see how they do...

Yes, I've been very happy with the dial-up service. There was a period, not long after it went totally free I think, that it would be a nightmare to connect to, some evening would take 15-20 attempts!!!

Mine normally connects at 50.6K, but now & then goes up to a super 52K :)
Now & then it will connect at something like 36K, get confused & disconnect itself :rolleyes:

But I am so close to getting 600K BB, I really really want it, just trying to convince myself its worth the extra £15 a month!

:eeek: :eeek: :eeek:

Where are the men in white coats? :D

mine connects without fail at 48000 + bps.

once it even reached 56000bps i was so surprised by this i took a screenshot... to date i have not had any similar high speeds...

and my family refuse to have anything faster than 56k :mad: :mad:

I'm more than happy with ntldialup via a bt line. I use dun to connect, usually using the 0808# rather than the 0800 one as I find it a little more stable.
I've only been with ntl for about 2 months now, but so far it's the beesknees for getting connected first go and with seemingly no limits. Although I tend to only use around 80-100 hours a month. :o)

The dial up connexion is quite good, handshake first time every time and even the e-mail situation has improved lately. An achievement for ntl.

:wavey:

Oh yes.... typical from you..... I'm all right Jack, f**k the rest of you. It may have escaped your notice, but BB is not available to a large number of ntl: customers, and we are stuck with dial-up unless we choose to move to a Sky/BT combination for our services.
:mad:

so why not move to bt for broadband i would if i did not have the choice of NTL BB which is rock solid for service uptime speeds :D :D :D

Why is it that I browse from thread to thread and yet seem to find myself reading the same spiteful nonsense over and over again?

I wish some folks would calm down a bit and enjoy the discussion, instead of taking every point of view contrary to their own as a personal insult.

I'm far from perfect but I hope I don't beat people up every time someone disagrees with me ... :(
