Sooner or later, someone senior at ntl is going to start looking at the list of advertising infringements, and money paid in fines, and start thinking, 'hang on, we have a problem...' Remember, after their near-bankruptcy debacle last year, ntl's shareholders are all banks. And banks hate to lose money. Sooner or later, they will take note.

do you really think NTL will care this is NTL you do know about there track record ?
I'm well aware of their track record, and it's quite possible that they won't care this time. But eventually, with sustained pressure, they will have to take notice. The fines will start to get bigger, for instance.

but you are affectivly 'grassing' them up
As I said, that is the language of the playground, used by immature people to try to scare others into not doing the right thing. That is not my aim.

there are better more constructive ways to do certain actions and this is not one of them
Perhaps you could list a few of these constructive ways, and explain why they are better than the official legal mechanisms I have employed by reporting the advert to the ASA?

the only logical reason i can see anyone taking action is......

its seems people really want to see NTL die and are hell bent on throwing every spanner they can find in to the works

If you choos to believe this, you are accusing me of telling an outright lie, as I have already stated in this thread that this is not my motivation. Are you accusing me of lying?
