I assume it's the same with the others mentioned here, but Guildford is
Guildford and surrounding areas. e.g. Woking is original CableTel and I know it extends into several other towns in the area.
I was on CableTel in Guildford back in 1997, moved to Woking and got CableTel there (after much hassle
), then CableTel bought into NTL and the bills started saying CableTel/NTL, then they started buying other franchises until finally buying old Cable & Wireless franchises. At some point (I forget when) they dropped the other names and it all became just NTL.
Standard of service between CableTel and NTL over the years has been as always shockingly bad, so if you wonder where their reputation comes from, it's CableTel
