I to have been getting an intermittent service from NTL in SCunthorpe - I use www.toast.net to check my throughput and it is averaging 438K on a 1.5m connection - although it has has moments of showing 1.3m throughput.

NTL tell me it is my modem - or my firewall - and even had the temerity to send me 3 e-mails today telling me that I have adware and a virus on my pc. PAH.

I ahve doubled checked with a different pc and a different modem (my motherss) in my house - andam gettingthe same results.

This has been going on for 3 bloody months now and they STILL expect me to pay ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£37.99 per month for what is a ****ing crap service.

I get more annoyed with these "put offs" from NTL than the bad service - wonder how everyone else feels about it?
