You are responisble for the upkeep of BT equiptment on your property, It gets damaged you are responisble unless its done has part of a crime and reported.

Yes BT phones do fail now and again but if people learn how to drive with out running poles down and contractors learn how to dig without slicing though a 100 pair cable then most would never happen

So some complain about BT charge to install phone line, Reason is simple BT employ there own FULLY TRAINED and experienced Telecomunications enginners to do installs has well has repairs and network upgrading. NTL uses contractors that you could not call enginners and only install, Are not fully trained or experienced and dont realy care how they get the phone line on has long has they get a clear. You should see some of the so called installs I have seen done by NTL (I yes I do no what I talking about I worked for NTL before joining BT)

I for one would go BT,

NTL have new network thats in hell of a mess cos of monkeys that work on it. (How many NTL cabs u seen wide open or broken)

BT have 60+ year old network in some places but maintain it to a very high standard considering.
