Working at ntl it amazes me why they won't cable up new properties and estates that run past or very close to existing properties that can have cable.
Ok so ntl don't have much money spare but when estates are being built its the most cost effective and cheapest it will ever be, the roads are not completed and no paths to dig up and re-lay, just dig through the rubble, lay the cable and go.... the developers finish the path/road off. Even more so when new people moving in it would be the best time for ntl to sell services to them.
Whats even more annoying is new developments of flats, so many houses in such a small space, so much return in revenue in one condensed area and they won't do it. If ntl won't cable these up when they are being built costing pittance compared to doing it later, to be honest it will probably never happen.
