Think it was around 1996 when we got CableTel installed (Phone & Analogue TV). Soon thereafter, they were taken over by NTL. Got dial-up internet off them too shortly after the take-over.

"Upgraded" to digital around 1999/2000 and availed of a Broadband offer that was ongoing (probably around 2003).

We're still with NTL now - the total package contains:

3 Digiboxes (including Main STB) on Family Pack.
Telephone Service.
750K ? Broadband.

There has been much debate in the household recently whether to leave NTL for Sky. I am off the opinion that (from what I hear from friends) Sky's Customer Service is attrocious and waiting times on phones are even worse than NTL. I would be inclined to remain with NTL due to their all inclusive packages. (Sky doesnt do Telephones or Broadband!!)
