Re: NTL engineers performing industrial sabotage: Myth or fact?
Would like to make things clear here, the people you call engineers are in fact installers who work for contractors who in turn work for Virginmedia. They may be wearing the Virginmedia uniform but are not employed directly by Virginmedia.

Over the years you will find that they have installed a phone line and used the existing BT extensions within the property or possibly in the case of flats/MDU have cut off the existing BT cable and used the BT extensions already installed. This i'll be honest has been something i have mentioned before, as to whether they should do it, but am not really sure on the policy, which has probably changed over the years due to different contractors and cable companies polices.

But one thing i do know is, there is no conspiracy to deliberately cut off BT lines with the intention of blocking people from using BT again in the future, more a case of bad working practices.
