tought i just make a little thread to see how long people have been with ntl.
my parents first got cable in something like 1992-1994 i can't remember.
at the time it was with nynex which then was taken over by cable and wireless which has now been taken over by NTL.

so anyone been with them for that long? see we are faithfull customers

at some point when we had one of the services, we were having work done on our house after threatening to sue nationwide after they did a drive by survey of our house which turns out to be subsidising. anyway other they settled out of court the work started on the house and as the buliders were doing some pileing(i think) they had hit a cable that was something like half 20cm under the tarmac. this cable i think belonged to BT but for some strange reason it had knocked of the a few neighbors boxes and also i think it mite of caused a power cut. boy it was fun seeing all the neighbors come outside and wonder wtf was happing lol. but it wasn't so funny when the bulider showed up pictures of a friend of his who had hit a gas pipe

gone slighty off topic haven't it

sorry if this is in the wrong place.
