ntl have a lot of happy customers all in all. I fail to see how they are being left behind in any way, Catching up maybe.

If $ky had inherited 2+ different satellite networks, running totally different software instead of monopolistically forcing anyone dareing to offer competition (BSB) out of business in the early days , I doubt their interactive would be what it is today..........and contary to misconcepted belief it is still a long way from perfect on many of the budget boxes 'given' away by $ky. I was a long standing Sky analogue customer after reluctantly switching from the early BSB......years of frankly rubbish customer service, and appaling treatment after moving house and a poor install' i switched to ntl. I havent looked back!! The Picture Quality on Sky was terrible compared to ntl and I thought before ntl that loosing your signal was just a fact of life in poor weather or on approach of the number 31 bus (complete with reflective adverts) just a few things to play havoc with my sky reception.

For me BT cant even offer a telephone line that doesnt crackle........which I think is appalling in this day and age, It cant be that hard to stop a crackle......hence the reason no BB ADSL for me, even if for some reason i wanted to have it.

Thank God for ntl!!
