Platforms
 

Seen a number of references to 'Bromley' or 'Langley' platforms. What does this mean exactly, what is the difference, how do I find which one I'm on (or are there more) and does it matter anyway?

Anyone got any answers?:confused:

Re: Platforms
 

Bromley refers to those areas once served by Cable & Wireless and Langley refers to those areas that were always served by NTL...

Alternatively, I've always found the platforms available here rather chic...

interesting diversionary link :erm: :D

and to say that 'original NTL' also included other franchises like Diamond Cable.

So, having failed to fully integrate langley & bromley, the plan is, obviously, to integrate telewest & virgin, as well, to solve all the problems :p: :D

Beat me to it :dmonk: :nworthy:

Re: Platforms
 

Yeah, when I first signed up to cable it was Diamond Cable in this area, but they were just starting to swap over to ntl.

Re: Platforms
 

...likewise with the ex-Cable & Wireless areas...it was originally Nynex here, then C&W. :)

and now there is knowsley too lol [telewest etc]

Funny that they all end in -ley, I thought. K,B or L, as we say internally.

Oddly enough, having been essentially set up by the same people, K and B are far more similar than B and L, which explains why the assimilation of ntl/C&W was so hard. I'd anticipate things being a bit easier with bringing K on board.
