But it still doesn't say you must have another landline, all it says is:

But it's not my opinion-I have given you a list of facts that prove that ntl's phone service is inferior to BT's in every way imaginable-it's not about the reliabilty of the phone line, it's about what happens after it fails that is the big difference between ntl & BT-with ntl you have to ring up & hope for the best, with BT you can report it & track it online & also get all your calls diverted to your mobile or another landline so people who ring you will never know that your landline is dead.

The same cannot be said for ntl's 'service' as they do not offer such a service, if your phone line is dead no one will be able to reach it.

But that still doesn't change the fact that BT's phone service offers far more for your money that ntl ever could.

And the people that will give a monkeys will be the ntl customers who do have a problem with their phone line....
