Well I can confirm we will be jumping ship next month, as after having NTL cable for just over a year, we are fed up with the continuous box problems, particularly over the last few days the box has been stuttering badly (which means that we miss important bits of programmes!) and I know that even if we get an engineer to adjust our signal, it will probably crop up again...

Also fed up of the many times we've had to reset the box to try and cure problems...

So, this was a good advantage to take up the offer Sky have had in the press that runs out today! We rang up at about 9pm last night and after a few attempts managed to get through (got through to Scotland, surprisingly!) and will be taking up the ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£40 package... all arranged for installation on 22nd July, so allowing 1 month for NTL to come and take their box away.

We won't completely be leaving NTL though, for the moment! At least until we get our computers sorted out for broadband! And even though the recording on Sky's phone line said we had to have a BT line for connection to the box, you don't! Which saves a bit of hassle! I can't wait!

So, just a couple of things to do today... Ring NTL to cancel TV, and ring the faults department to get them to have a look at the phone extension where the box needs to go, as it isn't working at the moment...
