My comparisons have been made having both NTL and Sky DTV, NTL and BT telephone and NTL BB running side by side here for a lengthy time and using an ADSL connection each day.
I would welcome your ideas on where NTL is catching up in order that I can make an evaluation as to whether I agree with you or not. If you provide the evidence then I can do nothing but agree with you. Failure to provide the evidence is an admission that you are wrong.
I would love NTL to get its act together and supply the kind of service that only cable can and at a competitive price, but they are not doing this. When they do they will have my custom for sure.
By the way, what do you use for TV reception when the NTL service goes down. If the answer is "it never does" then imagine that it did, what would you use?

I too still have first hand experience of Sky Systems, as my girlfriend has Sky at her house, I use ADSL at work because we cannot get cable to our place of work so have been through numerous providers. Pipex deserving a special mention for Good business ADSL, BT Connect deserves a stern warning to stay clear of!! I maybe very lucky with my ntl service but there is absolutely why other people shouldnt get lucky too!!!
I can say that ntl will soon be releasing interactive applications within the coming months (if all goes well) my company does work in developing etv applications with Matthew Stratfold at ntls enhanced television division which is currently working on a number of projects further to which i cant really say with the risk of landing myself in it, to come to fruition when cr3 is realeased which is quite a big stepping stone in enabling more stuff to come to cable, also some rough developement is being done for ETV in Video on Demand which is a longer term project.
