Re: A rod for my own back?

No I do not work for NTL just read these forums and have to wonder what your problem is. You have either left NTL or got an addition broadband connection off of Pipex. So why do you persistently continue to go on about NTL?



I have worked in the DSL industry in this country for almost 4 years on a technical basis and you obviously never used ADSL when it was first introduced in this country! I just hope you never have a problem with your ADSL connection which involved an engineer coming out because it will make dealing with NTL seem like a walk in the park. At least NTL came out to sort my problems out same or next day. I once didnââ‚ ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t have my DSL connection for 2 weeks and no its not a problem because I am a long way from the exchange, Iâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢m only 1km from the exchange.



I think it was you which brought up regarding Bulldog the other day. If you think NTL's network is slow id like to see what you think when you have a 2mbps line and only get 130kb/sec.

so there is no chance whatsoever of Pipex charging you extra for anything on that service.




NTL can not send you a bill for bandwidth you use over the 1gb as they have not outlined a pricing structure and how much you have to pay per GB extra you use, etc!



It will not be long till BT introduces caps on all the DSL services.

You are comparing apples to oranges.
How? If we are going to be funny about this then you cant compare Pipex to NTL because NTL offer 88kbps extra speed soon to be 238kbps extra. On the packages we are comparing.

1) They run over completely different setups
2) NTL provides the service all the way and Pipex resell off BT.

The list can go on.......

I was mearly making a comparison between NTLs so called "Capped" service and Pipex's capped service.

NTL has better download speeds and better latency than any ADSL ISP I have ever used!
