All in your opinion of course. Have you emailed your frinds at Telewest to ask like I suggested? The way you're licking boot polish, I assume you know them all....

Let's face it, ntl have never really led any market they have been in, they follow where others lead.
Telewest have long since been an example of how to run a DTV/BB/Telco.

Of course, because Telewest don't have any unhappy customers, do they?

Their products have always been superior to ntl's-just look at how ntl have now uncapped' the BB to follow Telewest.
|
It's not 'following' Neil, it's getting products in line post merger.

Also-let's not forget how ntl were forced to follow Telewest's lead in their BB pricing (when 1 & 2Mb were 1st launched)
|
They weren't forced. ntl and Telewest weren't in direct competition, so how could they be forced?

And not forgetting ntl upping the speed of their broadband products after Telewest had done it.
|
I note how you conveniently omit to mention the FACT that ntl actually announced they were upping the speed limits first, and Telewest followed suit. Of course, Telewest finished their upgrades first, but then having a network and customer base that wasn't even half the size of ntls could factor into that, no?

Oh, and let's not forget that Telewest have a clear & transparrent roadmap that details their upgrades from analogue to digital-where is ntl's?
|
I don't know, have you asked if they have one?

ntl's motto should be:
ntl-others lead, we follow.
The only reason that ntl's PVR/HD box was ditched was because it was inferior to TW's.
|
Really? Source? Proof?
Quote:
Not only that, but the TW box was already out & working.
Not a very impressive CV for a company the size of ntl that is supposedly at the forefront of technology is it?

That's YOUR interpretation Neil, which is your prerogative. If you weren't so damn biased, your post might be worth more than a fart in a thunderstorm.
