What is 1mb broadband is that quick enough just for checking e-mails and surfing the net? What about the tv package. Is it any good?
Also, what are the alternatives? Do any other companies offer a package of all three?

NTL will be able to supply you TV, Telephone and Internet, but ultimately the choice is yours as to what you choose to do. Generally you have a few choices.
- NTL, assuming you can get this in your area, who can supply your TV, Telephone and Internet.
- Telewest, as above, but different areas.
- Freeview, TV only, cheap digital option.
- Sky, TV Only, more expensive digital option.
- BT, phoneline
- Independent ISP for Internet.
1 Meg is now the entry level speed supplied by most ADSL and Cable companies, and would be sufficient for what you ask.
As for the TV, ntl & Telewest carry roughly the same channels as Sky, and all offer different package types to suit your needs. Freeview is the exception, as you get what you get.
The 3 for £30 you mention is a deal that ntl are currently doing, so i would check how long this would be the case for i.e, 6 or 12 months. Shop around, see what is available to you.

I took this quote out separately, as I'm assuming you are commenting on the posts made on Cable Forum. If this is the case, then you need to be aware that this site was created as a place for people to moan and vent. It is not necessarily representative of how good the actual service is as a whole.
If you have any further questions, please ask.
