My post was serious thanks for taking it seriously.
LE3 does have a service, I don't know exactly how much is covered but as far as I know all of it has analogue tv and phone service and some of it has broadband but not all of it. But if analogue was to be turned off then the areas which currently have no broadband could potentially just be offering a phone service.
The area I am in has BB but not where my sister lives.
To Paul M, you are lucky to be in an area that may have no issues and recieve a very good service from NTL but not everyone has the same experience and why you keep acting like a kid with personal attacks I dont know, some people will take your views as of cableforum since you are a moderator. My question was serious, if you had no answer to it then why reply?

to add to this I think the cabling was laid over 10 years ago by a different cable company so it may well be whatever investment NTL put in they have got their money back already.

Yep which is why I mentioned ADSL2, that might be a cheaper option then to digitialiase the current network.
