ntl are probably working on the 'easy' bits of the london network, the bits that need minimal money spent on. then they will move on to more expensive and involved parts of london.
well that's my theory, and seems quite probable.

I agree completely. It'd just be good to know where the good bits (which are more lilely to have broadband soon) and where the bad bits of the network actually are.

All I'm saying is you can discuss this subject to death but it would be far more constructive to do something, than just sit around like a bunch of old whingers. Nominate someone to contact the mods and let them try and get an official response on behalf of this site and the members interested in London broadband

Many have contacted NTL for an official response. They just get the same old corporate reply of the style rippedoff (and many others) have received, as hawkmoon pointed out in post #145. rippedoff has copied his email from NTL in post #131.
What I would like is an unofficial reply from an NTL insider about the state of the London network. Such information will be far more valuable & informative than any official response. Ideally I'd like to be able to PM my postcode to someone in NTL so they can tell me about what the network is like in my neighbourhood.
The reason I'm participating in this thread is in the hope that an NTL insider might be pursuaded to do just that.

Again - what reasons do you have in mind for ntl wanting to 'string you along'? You think it was just for kicks or something??

As I've said before of course there's no conspiracy to deny London broadband.
However NTL does wish to retain customers (such as myself) who, if they'd known how long it would take to get broadband, would not have stayed with NTL.
I moved address locally, and transfered my NTL service to the new address. If I had know that x years later NTL still couldn't offer me broadband, then I'd have chosen BT/ADSL/Sky to be installed in my new abode.
I will wait another 6 months, then (unless I have any credible information that broadband is really coming) I'll get ADSL with a BT line. At the end of the day that option is open to nearly everyone in London.
