Langley in this sense means the 'Langley Platform', DTV/BB in areas that were run by ntl before the 2000 merger. Areas that were run by Cable and Wireless are known as 'Bromley Platform'. Both are silly and misleading names, IMHO.

e.g.

Glasgow, Nottingham and Oxford were ntl before 2000, thus are Langley
Manchester, Leeds and Brighton were CWC before 2000, thus are Bromley.
