I wasn't debating the reasons M8 ntl will always follow Sky in terms of technology, after all-all they really are is a reseller of Sky's channels when it comes to TV.

Really?? In terms of DTV?? Sorry dude, but there's no way I can agree with that.

They lack any kind of idea of how to look after customers is what they lack m8.

But it didn't.

It's all about offering a superior service & Sky's is superior to ntl's-in much the same way as ntl's phone 'service' is inferior to BT's in almost every way imaginable.

Had ntl done a lot of things differently we may well have been speaking about them differently, as it is they haven't changed or moved with the times & will continue to be a 2 bob company offering 2nd rate products & 2nd rate service to back it up (which you will soon have to pay for on your phpne bill )
