Re: Where NTL failed

I forgot to mention telewest dont force transperent proxies as well.

Actually there are many things ntl and telewest have in common.

They both provide cable tv,phone and internet
They both were in financial trouble.
They both have the same cable market dominance in their areas.

If there was a merger I dread to think what would happen, because they are so different from each other.

Twice the speed for the same price? where did that come from.

I would rather pay more for a higher quality service then pay less for an inferior service, its quite a simple view. Luckily my landlord has caved in and although I will be paying more rent and paying for BT to install a line next may I will be moving to uk online for internet (8mbit ADSL 500 gig traffic 39.99 a month) BT for phone (10.50 a month line rental £3 inclusive calls) and sky digital tv (6.50 for family pack more then 6x the channels I have now). I bet I am not the only one who has been fighting to leave ntl.
