In your experience of course.

I would suggest to who ever wishes to use Broadband to stay away from NTL it really does suck.

And go where? ADSL? That can suck too my friend.

Their connections are not pure they put you through transparent proxies which half of the time can not resolve sites.

Again, in your experience maybe. Have you reported any problems or faults you have had?

The cheeky monkeys also charge you for a Basic TV package that you get FREE of charge on FreeView

But what they don't charge you for is the stb, maintenance on said
stb, a new aeriel, access to PPV, VOD etc.

NTL your marketing Tactics are OLD times are moving on and I can see how now you can afford to buy out Virgin Mobile cos all the money you take off your clients doesnt seem to be going back into the client base but rather into making NTL more money !!!

And you get your facts from where?

And If I was wrong after 3 years of problems and issues with their nasty transparent proxies it would have been fixed rather than them looking to buy out new companies

If I had probelms with any service provider, I wouldn't stick around for 3 years. More fool anyone who does really.

It seems like the morons are trying take me to be one of them nah no moron here and I suggest who ever uses NTL has a rethink about all that money they pay these bunch of thiefs !!!!

Thanks for your input.
