For the 3rd time since my last post I tuned in to Sky1 to see the legend, "You are not subscribed to this channel".
Same on most other channels including ITV1, Channel 4, and Channel 5.
After spending yet another hour tonight holding on for 'faults' to send a signal which would 'cure the problem in a couple of hour' (after faults have gone home), I gave up.
Disregarding the problems I have with the phone and broadband services, I decided not to argue with the message any longer and unsubscribed for real. At least in 30 days this message will be correct.

There's a technician due this week to "once and for all" sort out the broadband/cable issue. I have no faith left and, once he's announced that he needs to call someone else out, I shall cancel the broadband and phone part of the contract too.

If anyone's reading this thinking of going ntl, please factor into your calculations the endless hours of hanging on to their fault lines and waiting for technicians to visit that you will need to set aside once a fault develops nowadays.

I used to defend ntl to critics trying to warn me of what I'm telling you now.
No more.

Good luck!
