66% of 1million... 660,000.... that isn't a few!!!! (haha I still needed a calculator to work that out  ) |
Which makes a
total mockery of ntl's claims that they have
1 million broadband customers (they have always been very tight lipped about how many are on 150k, but now we know thanks to you!!)
So according to you (& Oftel/Com), ntl only actually have 330,000 high speed broadband customers (I.E over 512k)?
Not a very good showing really is it? & you have just confirmed my 'ntl PR BS' comment by admitting their statement of 1m BB customers is in fact little more than BS.
Thanks!

NTL reckons it's top dog for broadband after announcing today that it has become the first UK ISP to rack up one million broadband customers.

Said the cableco's chief exec, Simon Duffy: "NTL continues to be the driving force behind the growth of broadband in the UK. We are proud to be the first ISP to have over one million homes connected to broadband
|
Not quite Mr Duffy-660,000 150k customers & (therefore) 330,000 600k/1MB customers does not equate to 1m BB customers I'm afraid.

What a complete joke/load of BS-ntl are nowhere near the standard bearer they make out to be-if that were the case then they would have announced the speed increases & TW would have copied them out of panic (not the other way round
)

That may the case, but there are plenty of people who question NTL's claim.

With good reason too.

The reason is that NTL flogs a high-speed 150k service that many consumers and industry insiders in the UK reckon just isn't broadband.-

It isn't.
Thanks for ending the speculation behind ntl's BS tho 'HC', much appreciated.
