I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that Nynex actually did a decent job with their installs. Videotron installed the worst quality equipment they could get away with, which is why their areas in London needed a *lot* of work before NTL could supply broadband to them.

I think both NTL and Telewest suffered a bit because their networks were built up when they took over a lot of smaller cable cos, some of whom had good networks, and some of whom didn't..

Not sure which of the cable cos had good networks and which didn't though.
