3) Might be restricted by parents? I see, so ntl should have their ability to compete restricted by monopolies regulations on the grounds that someone's parents won't allow a competing service to be installed? Like I said earlier, you don't half talk some pure unadulterated crap.

Were you drunk when you wrote that post, since I cannot believe you're actually serious about it.
This was in response to neal saying its easy to switch to adsl nothing to do with local monopoly, BT have no monopoly since there are dozens of adsl isp's.

Ah.....diddums.....


It is if you have half a brain about you. All you need to do is ring BT & get the line taken back, then go onto Pipex/BT's/Nildram website & sign up-it couldn't get much easier, even for someone like you.
Both me and my sister landlord forbid a BT line, I am sure we not the only 2 people in the UK who have restrictions as to what line can be installed in rented property.

Come back to real life please not everything is rosy, there are people who have broadband for their kids so of course the parents thing is true also, the kids have broadband from what their parents pick so obviously in that case they got no power switching to BT.

Of course what do people do to leave NTL if no ADSL in area??

Come on guys you can do better then this.

Bill, I meant where I got it from I am well aware I posted it thank you. That figure was stuck in my head from something to do with that isp thats why I thought it was 40%.

I am no longer going to post on speed upgrades or cap thread, because too many points arent even responded to eg. early morning cap excempt period, I think the valid points made just wont stick in to some people and they ignore it and just argue against the easy stuff. I have asked some particular questions over 3 times and noone defending ntl over this responded to them.

So like others I will just wait now downgrade to the middle tier and see how it goes.
