In my opinion the Cable TV service I recieve is far superior to the service I recieved when I was with Sky.

Firstly I was a Sky customer for years and they were treating me worse as every year went by. The final straw was when I moved house they turned up made a complete hash of my front room, hole drilled half way up the wall which leaked. I played hell with them to no avail, they then told me I was locked into a contract for 12 months so I decided to stay until then. Then my picture began to break up in anything but perfect weather conditions......called Sky sent an engineer dish fixed until next breeze. It turns out they only fix the dish to the support arm with 2 bolts instead of the four drilled holes. This happend several times I said it wasnt good enough, Sky threatend to charge me if I called them again...I said not my problem. In the end I cancelled and payed the remainder of the contract at the value pack rate.

Called ntl, Installed within a week, choice of colours for cable in front room, neatly pinned to skirting board. I think my TV picture has failed once in nearly 2 years. For a year now I have been recieving good interactive from the BBC with few problems. I am due to move in a few weeks and really hope the house is in a cabled street.

Currently I have no need for Sky+ as in my opinion the majority of TV aint worth recording.......I hardly use my DVDR or VCR now.
