At last, NTL admit it! That should mean that itll be definatly back (and hopefully soon), no points to NTL for how long its taken though, I was starting to think it got a low priority!

I know NTL has a lot of critics and a few people have some real issues with them, but im in general a happy customer and they have given me 3 modems so far (and this was all their errors, I didnt ask for them) - has anyone had more than 3 out of them? Is there a record?

WHOOOOOOOOOO! Ive been missing the MP3s

NTL should be providing this and should be fixing these problems..
Many ISPs dont supply newsgroups, look at AOL for example! I do agree they should, the binaries do cause large bandwith usage so I suspect that is a lot to do with it!
