I had been using NTL over 3 years and besides being an expensive service I found that the Internet side of things was totally unreliable and useless.
I would suggest to who ever wishes to use Broadband to stay away from NTL. The last few months of my NTL connection has worked but usual delays of 30 seconds to open a page sometimes pages timing out while your browsing a site and the most annoying issue was the patchy internet where it worked for 10 minutes and then 10 minutes of timeouts and no data. This is because their connections are not pure they put you through transparent proxies which half of the time can not resolve sites. There is no way around this either as in you can not assign Public DNS servers or Public proxies because NTL redirects all port 80 traffic back to their own transparent proxies. DOH .
The cheeky monkeys also charge you for a Basic TV package that you get FREE of charge on FreeView
NTL your marketing Tactics are OLD and times are moving on.
I can see how they can afford to buy out Virgin Mobile considering after 3 years to be having the same issues they had initially when I joined them points to them never actually fixing the issues rather pocketing all that money for new investments.
If you do not want the headache of unreliable Broadband dont choose NTL go with someone that Internet Is their Number 1 thing rather than a mutli packager seller of Media ie t/v telephone etc since what you end up with is a JACK OF ALL TRADES oh ye and mobiles now too heheheh wonder how long before the virgin mobile be lagging and not picking up reception lol
Just SAY NO to NTL
Big TUMBS DOWN
Definitly a BIG THUMBS DOWN FOR THAT NAME
BOOOOOOO
