Broadband Upgrade
 

A bit of a general question really....

NTL broadband isn't available in my area (only digital tv - which I've ordered) and when I contact Customer Services they can't even hint at when broadband might be available.

So, I guess the question is.... Are NTL currently suspending their broadband expansion and is there anyway to find out when I might be able to get broadband?

I'd really like an all in one service!

Any advice would be appreciated!!!

Think they suspended their expansion a long time ago. Whether they will resume cable pulls etc in the future once they complete their merger I don't know but I think someone else recently asked this and was advised to not hold their breath.
The question is....... where abouts in the country are you?

There are a few areas in the network that do not support BB not to sure if they are going to upgrade these parts but as its not a recent thing I do not know what they could be planning.

If you're in London, the upgrade is 'coming soon'. Just as it's been coming soon for the last few years! Current plans are to have it complete by the end of this year, to allow VoD (ntl On Demand) to be rolled out across London (except in Analogue-only franchises).

I'm in London :) Kensington & Chelsea Borough. I see on the website that K&C is due for VOD in Summer 2006 - does that mean BB will be available then?

Re: Broadband Upgrade
 

Probably - they both use the same return path, so as long as VoD is delivered on time you should be able to get broadband by then too. :)
