LOL glad to be the first, this is why i say ntl blow, here goes:

iv had broadband with ntl (and tv and phone) for about 3ish years (maybe 4 not sure) iv always been on the middle tier, iv never had a problem, until about 9months ago, from then every couple of weeks the net would be un-usable for a couple of days, maybe a week, then would be fine for a few weeks then back to it. the last month 1/2 or 2 months its been diar, i liked to play online games, which i havnt been able to do for about 2months, and every day, i would say at least 3 times in the day, the net will go down for about 30-60mins, iv had 3 engineers out, all nice people (apart from the 1st dude, who didnt really like it when i didnt agree with what he was saying to me, didnt get nasty, but you could tell he wasnt happy), the 2nd dude replaced the set top box, and the 3rd told me that its because theres so many customers in the area and that the problem had already been noted, and that there would be updates soon that will help the problem, that was 3 weeks ago, here i am, still terrible net. my dad rung ntl and spoke to CS, i dont quite know what was said as i wasnt even home at the time, but the outcome is ntl are now coming out to fit a SACM instead of the bb coming thru the STB, the CS dude said that it should help the problem, but in my opinion i dont wreckon it will, i cant see why it would sort the problem, but if this doesnt sort the problem, i think my dad is changing ISP.

Thats my story, hope you enjoyed lol
