original NTL areas
 

Are there areas which ntl built? What year did ntl start building networks? If i remember our area was done in about 1994 and we had service quite quickly after they ducted our road.

I rememeber watching them doing the ducting and they litterally just threw it in. It was quite amazing actually how fast they did it all.

Some areas were built by Cabletel, which was the company Barclay Knapp started which became ntl in time.

Not forgetting there was also Comtel, I know they used to cover the Stafford area.

I think the new (well theyre not that new lmao) smooth ntl isolator houses are quite smart. I didnt like the old cable & wireless ones.
