BT play dirty games like I seen with my friend, his adsl install got put back a month then after he found out from nildram 3 hours later BT cold called him saying they could do it the next day if he switches to BT isp.

I'll admit, I have heard BT have been less than cooperative with other ISPs (from reputable news sources)

As a consumer the best isp's are generally unknown, which is why the poor ones have such high amount of customers. BT's cap has only been on for around a month or so they didnt activate it until january so I wouldnt expect much fallback from it until after 6 months then we will see if they carry on gaining customers.

There's nothing stopping the "better" ISPs advertising.

Leaving NTL isnt simple I say time and time again, it involves changing phone provider as well and some people are limited to NTL only, NTL DO have a local monopoly, they are not tied by the same guidelines that BT have by ofcom and the government and they dont have to wholesale their service.

If no other service were available locally, then NTL would have a local monopoly. There are few places in this country where ADSL is not available. Perhaps where it is not, people should be pressuring BT?
I will agree that changing telecoms suppliers is not easy, but it is possible.

Sorry I dont sit here all day posting every 15 mins, I dont know if people are been paid by ntl to or not but I have better things to do then spend the day arguing my point, I know I am not wanted by my isp as I dont fit their 50% operating profit requirement.

OK....As with Ianauth, not sure where you got the 50% requirment though.. I think NTL would be happy not to make a loss on a customer though.
