Re: Analogue TV
NTL has two franchises that are still completely analogue and have no telephone network accompanying it. Those franchises are the ex-BT franchises covering Westminster and Milton keynes.
NTL is loosing so much custom in these two areas because people have to pay the 'TV only package' charge which includes telephone line rental without the phone service together with a poor outdated tv service. Customers then have to look elsewhere for telephone and internet services meaning they end up spending an extra £20 to £40.
In other words its a load of crap!
I think NTL would need to spend at least £15 to £20 Million on these two franchises to upgrade the network to digital and put a telephone network in. In Westminster they could just expand the ex-videotron telephone network which is also in parts of westminster.
