W are led to believe that BT is the competition to NTL but this is misleading because there are several companies that offer competitive services on the BT line (and donââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t get me wrong I am not Pro BT †“ I just do not want to see NTL going down the road of the old BT), and some of these services are better than NTL, in effect NTL is becoming what BT was many years ago.
If companies behave in a non competitive manor without having a competitor to pull them into line the government can bring in laws to streamline the service to British customers. Why companies think the UK is the wild west and they can treat customers as they like I do not know. Even in the USA companies are broken up if it is believed they are behaving in a non competitive manor. I think NTL are beginning to behave like this.
If other companies had access to the NTL cable network we may see better services.
