I've been with Tw and its predecessors for about 10 years and will be terminating my TV contract with them shortly. Ever since the introduction of Teleport, it has only worked for 24hrs in my house and has caused problems with the rest of the TV service. Cutting a long story, they can't fix it - it would appear to be an infrastructure problem in the area that is going to take ages to sort out. Even when they do get it sorted, you only get 'teleport replay' on a handful of channels and even then, it can be hit and miss. Having weighed up all the options and fed up for paying for a not half decent cable TV service, I'm switching to Sky+. My friends have this already and are hooting at the problems we are suffering with Telewest. Sky won't lag behind for long on the technology front and you get more channels for about the same monthly charge.
