I would rate NTL as generally a good company. Yes, I have had some problems but these have been sorted out.

I have had ADSL/Sky and BT and at one point had NTL (Telephone and CATV) and ADSL for the internet and also a telephone line off BT.

After 12 months of having 2mbps ADSL, I decided to get a cable modem fitted and compare to see if it was worth paying the extra to stay with BT for the ADSL. As I was not going to stop the TV and Telephone with NTL as I would not touch Sky again unless I had to. The cable modem service is far better than ADSL. I mean my ping times are around 10-14ms compared with at best 30ms on ADSL. Since getting ADSL 2 years ago I have had 4 suppliers:

Timewarp Internet (512kbps)
Nildram (512kbps)
Mistral (2mbps)
Datanet (2mbps)
