I am sorry, it is uncalled for. Abusing people makes them less likely to want to help.

No, the conversation of broadband in London was not done to death - it was closed by the moderators. There were attempts to resurrect the thread but the moderators yet again pulled the plug. The thread(s) was/were running since last year. I guess the threads were highly embarrasing to NTL. There is no evidence that London is uneconomical to upgrade whatsoever. It is not London's fault NTL had overspent or poorly manage their resources in other areas.
No, it's not London's fault. The fact is though (and tough as it may be) that NTL are under the control of Bond holders. If the Bond holders say they have to cut costs, they HAVE to cut costs (even if it affect the service) because if the bond holders decide they want their money back (which as I understand it, they are entitled to do), NTL have to pay it even if it bankrupts the company. I have worked for a company that was under the control of Bond Holders, and I know for a fact that they will do that if their demands aren't met.

With the comms market the way it is, in the event of NTL going bankrupt), the network would probably be taken over and SHUT DOWN by BT and Sky, because Telewest are under the same financial constraints that NTL are.

Still, that doesn't account for Videotron, CWC and NTL not installing Broadband in London before the collapse of the comms market..

What definitive answer? There are suggestions that his area will shortly be upgraded soon. The obvious question that springs to mind is why is NTL are unable to communicate with their customers?
That is a good question. NTL don't seem to be generally able to communicate with customers (apart from those people that post on here and, for a while at least, on .com).
