Something could be done. If spam filtering is so haphazard, why does my filtering software work so well? And without much user intervention. No, I think most of the anti-spam-blocking group feel that way because they just know what a total pigs-ear NTL will make of it.

probably power level related, have you called ntl faults?

This is my third STB. Each time it has been replaced, I've spent the evening telephoning CS as they seem to lose half of my channels. A friend of mine has been on a STB which he used to reboot regularly, but now he's on a CM which he still has to reboot. Another friend of mine on a CM....same there! This seems like a problem in the area. Are NTL interested? NO!

Irrelevant to most users. The people I have seen affected by this clause have been extreme bandwidth hogs, well over the suggested limits. I would like to add that I disagree with the way it is worded and would like to see more emphasis on the upload as it causes more disruption.

The levels are a problem. Check out this thread,

For someone on 160k, 1Gb is plenty but it doesn't take long to rack up that amount of usage on 1Mb. If the speeds increase, it'll be worse. Granted, there does perhaps need a cap of some sort, but the current "fixed" level across the range of speeds is totally wrong. The cap should increase as the speed increases.

Happening quite regularly. Luton caches were upgraded this week.

Every time NTL does "load balancing" I lose access to sites. I have to change my proxy manually to get access back. Why? I know of no other ISP who regularly have this problem. NTL shouldn't be working on this, it should have been fixed long ago.

Swings and roundabouts; you have to make money to spend money on improvements. Given the state ntl were in last year they are not doing to bad on the upgrade side. Admittedly, there are some areas that require substantial investment and planning.

Yeah, NTL are doing great on the upgrade side aren't they? They have an email system which has been almost useless for the last week, a Usenet service which I gave up on quite some time ago, and a set of "transparent" proxy servers that are anything but. Yes, I agree they need to make money, but other ISP's seem to do alright, and don't seem to have the wide-spread problems NTL have. NTL didn't inherit an aged and creaking system. It was supposed to be state-of-the-art, so why is it broken all the time? Getting repairs done is a joke. It takes almost a week to get an engineer to call. For nearly £100 a month for the package, I think I'm justified in expecting a little better.
