UDT, you're forgetting the first rule of debating. Don't insult your opponent. Rip what they're saying to peices, but getting personal is totally unnecessary.
Now as you know, this site has nothing to do with NTL. So any NTL associates posting on here are doing so in their own time, off their own backs, because they want to try and help us. Why start insulting them for doing that?
Mark has passed on what information he has. With respect to him, he's not high up in the company. He cannot be expected to produce all the facts and figures you demand. (In fact, I would go so far as to say that NTL cannot be expected to produce the figures you demand -- when was the last time you heard BT telling people how much is costs to convert an exchange to ADSL? They never give the exact figures.)
And as to you taking advice from a man who "cannot hardly spell"...
There's one point thought that no-one has managed to counter yet. Broadband is NTL's most profitable product. It's the one they're marketting hardest nationally. They
want broadband customers. With this in mind, the only possible explaination for not offering it in London is that it is uneconomic to upgrade the areas. Otherwise, why else would NTL be holding back?
