Quite a pathetic attempt to paint the NTL service as being so perfect and its competitors so inadequate. If you keep repeating along these lines you may even start to believe that NTL are as good as you say.

I don't know why you and others knock Sky so much. If it wasn't for Sky what choice of channels would you think there would be on NTL? Sky dishes I can put up with, I hardly ever notice them even though there are many about. What I do notice is the scarred roads and pavements where cable has been laid and the ugly black wiring running across many rendered house fronts where the cable installers haven't even tried to follow a less obtrusive path.
LMAO!

I knock Sky.......as do many other because they offered me a crap service I was a long term customer and they are going down hill big style, Ive experienced it first hand. if they continue at this rate it is only so long before they shed customers! You are perfectly entilteld to like $ky and dislike ntl..........different experiences but I know who id rather be a customer of!!

What are you on about?? ntl without $ky? the only channels $ky provides for ntl is Sky Movies, Sports, Travel. The rest of the channels are independant from any operator UK TV, ITV Granada, Viacom etc etc, Sky provides a fraction of services, which frankly I could live without if they never had existed!! Infact on the contary ntl broadcasting provides a great deal of channels for $ky BBC, ITV, CH4, CH5, UKTV+, Viacom are all routed through ntl broadcasting before the sattellite uplink! So maybe you should be thanking ntl for that!!

Also the comment on the dishes is a little ammusing, If you dont see them you obviously have your eyes shut!! The 'official' '£1' installers make a right hash of many a house, the dishes are hung on the rafters left right and centre, bolted on obtrusive poles to get a signal, rusting dishes, black cables dangling down a wall not even pinned in..............i dread to think what the inside is like, if its anything like my last experience black cable on cream walls!! mmmmmm. I do agree dishes can be hidden by quality installers, but $ky dont use quality, they use monkeys, to offer fitting for £1 and free equipment they have to cut corners somewhere! The vast majority of Installs are very shoddy indeed. I would have to recommend to anyone cosnidering $ky to use a local independant electrical retailer for fitting, they will do a better job and you will get a better service, its well worth the extra cash. Dont be fooled by bargin prices, its like buying a cheap set of spanners for £5 over a £50 set.........in a year you will replace the £5 ones but the £50 ones will still be going strong in 20 years!
