Whilst the BT network has copper right from the exchange to the subscriber, the NTL network has fibre running most of the distance, so these upgrades can't happen centrally with minimal investment.

1. So this means that when I made my decision to go for the Nynex/NTL PHONE service *BASED ON THE IDEA* that the co-axial cable was the coming thing and would support lots of extra services this was false as it appears that ONLY by going back to BT with it's 'old fashioned' copper service can I get CLI and other Basic Phone Services
2. We've only had Broadband here in Brighton/Worthing for 18 months ago - Surely they had to make a SUBSTANTIAL investment in upgrading all the equipment the - incl at the MUX Cabs >> WHY DID THEY NOT ADD CLI Then ??????
3. If others can 'see ' my number showing up surely there must be some CLI equipment at thge MUX cab exchange - surely if it there it can be used the other way round so I can see C|LI numbers showing up ???
A Not Very Happy Customer !
