What about Telewest upping their speeds AFTER ntl this time round? Care to give your opinion on that?

Oh....that's ok then-that what "Market Leaders" means, some people get a proper/working direct equivalent to Sky, & some don't?
Also-are you referring to ntl's 'interactive' (EPG/TV Guide) or Sky's proper red button 8 screens on Sky News/multiple camera angles on Sky Sports etc interactive?
Neil, you said that that interactive doesn't work, period. And it's not true, that's the point I was trying to make. I used the red button to vote on BB4. I also used the mutli screens for Tennis etc. Do I look lie the kind of girl that even wants to know if multi camera angles for Sky Sports in general??

Important Question----->Do you get full 'Red Button' interactive on Sky News/Sports for example?
Never looked TBH.


Quote:
Because I have been told by people in ntl that would know.
Not good enough Neil.

That's a lot of home & a lot of exchanges.

Add to this Bulldogs already running deal with 4 meg DSL and all your phone line/phone calls costs all in for around £50.00, & you've got a fair few!

The other thing to remember, is that these companies that are unbundling the exchanges don't work on ntl's "Coming Soon" theory, when they say soon, they mean it!!

ntl are market followers, not leaders IMO, & I can't see/think of anything they have done to suggest otherwise?

Yes, I've seen the website for the 8 meg. But like I said before, why don't you show up all hte potential flaws of the deal, like you would with any ntl deal?

You can't compare Bulldog to ntl. The size of the company and the technology are completely different. You don;t have to like ntl Neil, but at least be fair when you compare - which you so are not.
