A reasonable question. Here's an answer from me:

1. We are not allowed to set up a satellite dish as we are in a flat.

2. Dislike Rupert Murdoch and have no wish if we can help it, to add to his millions.

3. Generally happy with ntl services but we feel BB/interactive TV services ought to be available to us.

4. ntl appears to be extending BB etc services in parts of Greater London so it's reasonable to ask ntl managers what their plans are.

5. Have you considered the consequent financial loss for ntl if all those customers in Greater London do as you wish. It would probably mean immediate bankruptcy for ntl.
