Errr possibly because they have the network running at its fullest potential ?????

If customers didnt have those services, would it make a difference? if they didnt even know NTL were working on them? then that way they could of enabled etv on the system properly rather than a 'BODGE JOB' and having an entire network of happy customers! EVen if it came 6 - 12 months later......

Erm if you ever took part in the nthw.com forums or had any interest in ntl: before you would know that they have been getting ****ged off for not having etv features for years. And its not a simple case of they can't, THEY HAVE LITTLE MONEY, they have only recently emerged from bankruptcy

NTL must have known about the C&W network as soon as they bought it, why didnt they start plans then to intergrate it into there own bromley platform?
|
Because after they purchesed CWC the telecommunications market hit a total downfall in which they lost loads of money and did not have the money to intergrate it. Yes they had plans, but no they could not fund it. And unlike BT, they have recieved no help from the goverment towards future services.

Oh yeah... cos they didnt give a **** then did they, and now they do and are f**ked because they didnt think about it earlier.
|
We all already no that the management of ntl over the years has been pretty crap, hence why they went bankrupt. But now they seem to have got in the right people to manage the company and are re-building.

So all those customers paying the same money as someone on the Bromley platform... what do they get as compensation?
|
Ok so this rule applies to everything then! Next you will be complaining that people is certain area's of the country should be compensated by the goverment for not having the choice of ntl: or BT for their internet services, because ntl: are not in the area.

Why shouldnt they? at the end of the day if they lived somewhere else paying the same money they would recieve the etv service wouldnt they?

Awwwww I live in Wirral and i can't get hydro broadband, so where do we draw the limit?

Its like caller display isnt available in all areas, if it was included as standard on all telephone packages i bet NTL would have customers going mad because its a service they cant get in there area, yet someone else paying the same price can!!!!

Thats a pretty dumb thing to say, because it is NOT a standard feature as you have said and therefore has no relevance or truth!
And being the owner of a web hosting company CANNOT compare to running an international company with millions of customers to satisfy and bigger competitors then yourself to undercut. If your web hosting company was to go bankrupt you probably would not even survive, never mind go on to launch new services. I don't mean it will obviously but you are comparing (admittidly you did state its not as big) a small e-business with floated international company
