My latest reply from ntl:

(I am in the Streatham area of South London)

Dear Mr **********
I can confirm that your address is in the provisional build plan. However the bad news is that at the present time, this are would not be due for release until mid June 2005.
I must stress that we do not as yet have approval for funding of this project. Both time lines and build area may change, I am therefore unable to make any guarantee of service for you at the present time.

Best regards

Well, RippedOff, although the news is not brilliant at least NTL are communicating with you which has got to be a major improvement from a company whose philosophy is "No Communication Is Good Communication".

It does prove that they do have some plans for London as parts of Lewisham are on line.

The sad thing is that things do move extremely slowly at NTL but we are seeing some movement just not at the speed we would like it.

I think NTL do want to move things on as the problems with London have a knock on effect on other projects like CR3, ETV, EPG amendments etc. which NTL are anxious to get sorted.

As per usual, by chipping away at NTL we do gather snippets of information here and there which help us to gain insights into the overall picture. Maybe NTL will tell us when the decision re: funding for the build plan will be made and it's always possible that your part of Streatham may be in the earlier part of the build plan.

We'll just have to hang in there and wait and see how it all works out.

P.S. Any news from Inkblot, Hawkmoon and the other London Broadband campaigners?
