listen to what I said, The people that I am opposed to on here are the ones saying yeah NTL need to spend money on upgrading the infrastructure so we can all have 2Mb services and a service thats reliable.
They then go and do what they can to land NTL with as big a fine as they can.

That to me is hipocrasy.
Its sheer minded bloody pettiness and the engineer has admitted to part of it in a response to orangebird.

NTL do not PROMOTE downloading of illegal movies from filesharing, it does not state where to get them from, or how to get them. It merely states that "movies" are available on the internet.
The fcat that Spiderman was such a success in the piracy stakes is FACT not a promotion by NTL.
you simply cannot say NTL must put a disclaimer on there against this illegal activity but dismiss all th eother illegal activites that are available on th enet purely because it doesnt fit in with you argument.

YES the advert is bloody stupid, but it doesnt say "with an NTL connection you must download illegal movies"
Neither does it say "NTL will do nothing if you choose to use yoiur connection for illegal purposes"

So what is the point of your arguments? yes badly written advert there is no contest there. The contest is purely that Myself and a few other think it is not just immature but Idiotic to report NTL to the likes of FACT, especially when one of those people was caught uncapping his modem therefor committing fraud (oh and the fact he offered NTL advise on how he did it, and didnt use the bandwidth still does not make it acceptable). Double standards is what I call it.
