It seems that ntl in their quest to cut costs and corners haven't seen fit to pay for enough access to satisfy the number of customers they have. Don't bother trying to contact customer services - they won't help you (or even acknowledge that there is even a problem).
Yep, my experience as well. Took me 15 attempts to get a phone line at lunch time to check email, and this evening took a lot more...

No-one said this was going to happen, it just did.....
