NTL Broadband Plus
 

Just signed in for the 'Free' 3 months of Broadband Plus..... what a joke! Unobtainable links all round. Complete C**P !

Re: NTL Broadband Plus
 

Any particular links or they all dont work ?

Re: NTL Broadband Plus
 

hmmm - what are unobtainable links? a little more info would be a good idea!

and anyway what do you expect for free! :D

Re: NTL Broadband Plus
 

I had this trouble last week. Couldn't get any of the links. Changed DNS servers and was able to get them. I've changed back to NTL DNS servers now because these are working alright with the links in Broadband +. :)

Re: NTL Broadband Plus
 

haha the whole thing is a bloody joke

Re: NTL Broadband Plus
 

Links seem ok here atm, which ones don't work for you ?

Re: NTL Broadband Plus
 

as long as my firewall is inactive all links ok for me. :)

Re: NTL Broadband Plus
 

I think it's a pretty good prduct for those that have had BB and don't know what to do with it. I mean don't get me wrong you can most things via p2p but some people don't know how to use it or don't like to use it.

Re: NTL Broadband Plus
 

I have to agree I have been unable to use it since I signed up for it I am planning on cancelling now before xmas so they will not start to charge for this service.

Re: NTL Broadband Plus
 

The charges wont start until March if it's 3 months free trial, when they start charging you will get a mail asking you to sign up, if you don't you will be unsubscribed automatically. So no need for you to do anything :)

Re: NTL Broadband Plus
 

Thanks imback I know it will take them ages to remove you from the list was only making sure I didn't have to pay. They might have cleared all teh bugs by then.

Re: NTL Broadband Plus
 

But it won't be soon ;)

Edit- isn't that Ntls' excuse over the interactive, and the e-mail, and the newsgroups, the list just goes on!!!! :rolleyes:

Re: NTL Broadband Plus
 

Well the reason most people are not getting pages through broadband plus is because most standard firewalls stop the information that it needs to log you onto the sites.
If you have problems, rather then turn your firewall off, try to configure the refer information that your firewall lets through

Re: NTL Broadband Plus
 

Observation about BB plus does not like IE6 and windows ME. Likes IE6 and windows XP. You can not access the music with WME and IE6.

Re: NTL Broadband Plus
 

Thanks for all the replies.

The links that don't work (and this is not the Full list!!!!) are:-
'Now Playing' on the main menu.
Video TV
Download365
Music Choice
NewsPlayer
ScreenPlayer
Frost TV(!!!)
and so on.........

As some people have pointed out., its probably to do with the Norton Firewall set up on my PC that is causing the 'problems' - strange that I would have to change the settings (making my PC less secure?!?!) for BB Plus when any and all other internet sites work just fine! I just think that this service is badly set up and the tech people (whoever they are?) need to address the problem associated with Firewall's and running this service.

Cheers.
