How do I find out the cabinet serving my house? I used to know the old one for my old property but have never found out for my current house.
The old one that used to serve us was in a state. One day when NTL came out to fix a problem I had, the teenager that came round to fix asked me if he could borrow a spade. I was like...."err ok". I then followed him whilst chatting to him about why etc, and he basically said to me that he is always getting stitched up on jobs not having the keys to cabinets so he is asked to use means necessary to open them forcefully and then try to put them back as best he can. Thsi is not a joke, he was definitely an NTL guy, NTL van, uniform and he did to be fair fix the problem. He literally crowbarred open the Cabinet with my spade. He had to tell neighbours who he was as they thought he was vandalising it! lol. I was genuinely embarrased to be standing there but he sorted it and that was that. I obviously reported the cab disrepair the next day and it did eventually get sorted.
