I honestly feel that it is about time that NTL switched to a purely digital TV service.

I know that several areas don't have access to a digital service at the current time but I feel NTL need to provide a service in the same league as Sky and the only way it could provide that is by freeing up the capacity wasted on the analogue service.

I had analogue cable several years ago before the switchover and I couldn't put up with a service like that today.

I think NTL should switch analogue only customers to a telephone only service to free up the capacity to provide a far better range of channels and services for the majority of customers.

Several years ago, when digital television was in its infancy, it was mooted that cable tv would be able to carry 300+ channels compared to 200 or so on satellite which clearly hasn't happened due to their insistance on retaining an outdated and completely inferior system for a minority of customers rather than offering a high quality service to far more customers.

The viewers lost from areas without digital would be likely to be made up from viewers who didn't want to subscribe to NTL due to their current services limitations.
