Stuart - you illegally uncap your modem, you don't pay four months worth of bills etc etc etc....how much more should they (ntl) put up with?
Not paying your bill is a breach of contract. ntl reserve the right (t&c's - read 'em) to terminate that contract, charge interest etc etc, hence a new contract isn't BS, it's what you agreed to when you accepted services from ntl...
I'm not defending ntl for one minute, just putting across the other perspective - plenty of customers on here scream 'breach of contact' soon enough, why can't ntl?
Happy birthday BTW
