So I'm seriously thinking of moving over. Especially when I look at this web-site BBC info page on Broadband As this clearly implies that Cable has the disadvantage of slowing down when several people in the same street are using the web. (It doesn't say this for ADSL!!)

Can NTL move my connection to a less used 'pipe', or is my only alternative to move to ADSL??

Yours in Desperation

PS: Can I PM you (Neil) my postcode too?
contention ratios for ADSL are at the exhange level rather than street level on cable. Overall the contention ratios for ntl are lower than ADSL. ADSL is 25:1 (i think) whereas ntl quotes 20.1 it is often quite considerably lower
