yes repulls are routine with existing customers if it would provide a benefit.. why not in the Milton Keynes franchise? I think we should complain to ofcom about this - the franchise licence says broadband catv services - we get nothing of the sort!! I think i read somewhere that the government taxes catv networks according to the type of network - broadband or narrowband. MK is definitley listed as broadband - so the question is this: is NTL benefitting in some way as having the franchise listed for tax purposes as broadband, but in reality keeping it sub-standard?
