It wouldn't be the first time ntl has bought a load of rubbish without first carrying out a comprehensive evaluation, but that would be unfair to make those comments at this point. ntl used to buy things by reading the spec and listening to the salesman selling the kit, that was the big difference between ntl and Telewest. ntl doesn't have a research facility of any calibre, unlike Telewest who have full engineering facilities to evaluate potential equipment before they purchase.
This all sounds very fishy to me, although it does remind me of a certain customer premises product we bought that was very unsafe. It never got taken out of service because the supplier was a Freemason and the buyer was a Freemason. There was a lot of talk about a customer getting an electric shock from that equipment, but it was all hushed up!
