Well back to the point, Why on earth did NTL acquire Telewest and Virgin Mobile, it should have been the other way round, Telewest was much better under its own brand name and ownership.

As soon as NTL took over the whole lot, in came the indian call centres,job losses,less channels and annoying packages oh and slow development of products.

To be honest NTL,Cable and Wireless and especially Videotron are the worst people to deal with.

Cable and wireless have bounced in and out of the residential sector so many times and always seem to cause some kind of issue whether its poor customer relations,poor billing and pricing or just in general crap service.

What gets me is, I heard that NTL Telewest are paying Virgin Enterprises £25 Million per year on top, surely that money could go to upgrading Analogue only areas such as Westminster?
