They didnt really operate two networks, though, Remember a $ky engineer calling round soon after the 'merger' fitting a huge ugly monstrosty dish in the place of the small rhombus reciver provided by BSB. Its a lot easier to fit monstrosties to peoples homes than to relay miles of cable or reinstall headends and £ÃÆ ’‚£Ãà¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£S of hardware as ntl would have to.

A merger is the technical term, but really $kys money played the major factor, forcing BSB on to its knees then taking over its customers at Knockdown prices in true murdoch monopolistic fashion.

At the end of the day ALL of the companies are as bad as each other, its pot luck. But $KY and BT are as bad as ntl if not worse......its a matter of choosing between the evils. I was a customer with $ky for years and they are a long long way from having their '****' together.
