/me wonders wether they will still carry the attitude "adsl is not the competition for BB in Britain" If so then they will be just a larger merged bunch of dumbnutz in the board instead of one reasonable board and one pathetic board. With TV doesnt cable just mainly resell Sky via cable ? and pretty much anyone can string two cans together, todays phone is not the main thing its just cream on the pie as far as profits go, the way the internet is going phones will be gone as we used to know them soon.

I hope things improve for them but even today I spoke to someone who has ntl BB and they refuse to change his modem because it works on usb but doesnt work via ethernet port, this is not very helpful to him as he really wants to hook linux up via ethernet. Of course he may just change to adsl which means the ntl phone line will go to minimum.
