Diamond were already supplying it in Nottingham long before me, our area was one of the last to be done. We were not all "trialists". The speed was 512k but quickly changed to 600k. Diamond Cable actually ceased to exist (became NTL) about the same time. |
Re: How long have you had cable BB
I signed up for cable as soon as Omne Communications laid the network in 2001.
They were then taken over by WightCable North, then Smallworld Media/Cable/Fibre before being bought by Virgin Media in 2014. |
Re: How long have you had cable BB
I would say 1991/2, Cambridge cable put cable TV in our area, and we had 3 scientific Atlanta boxes and bought out modem a Trayon terajet (IIRC) to save on a monthly fee

Offered me Broadband speed increase to 200Mbps & top TV package for £6 a month less than I’m paying now so naturally I’m staying. Why do we have to go through this rigmarole? |

Re: How long have you had cable BB
I remember at my parents house in early 2000s having a scientific Atlanta modem with about 5 green flashing lights. Can’t remember the speed. Maybe 512Kb to start. Might have still been under cable & wireless. Pretty sure wasn’t while still bell cablemedia. Had VM broadband on and off for about half of the 14 years I’ve had my own house. Started at 20Mb now on 600Mb.

Re: How long have you had cable BB
Don't remember if it was cable Tel or NTL but it was definitely 128. After years of 28.8 on dial up. It's right up their with getting my first 64mb USB pen drive.

Re: How long have you had cable BB
Signed up with NTL world mid 90's. 512kbs! Been with them ever since. Only ever had one major problem when there was a 24hr period where the speed was barely dial up speed.
