I just thought I'd pop on NTHW and see how things were progressing with the whole S London BB fiasco...... nothing new I see....

I went to ADSL back in June (still keeping my NTL TV/Phone package) and I have never looked back. I would suggest others do the same.

I would also suggest that if you go down the same route as me that you negotiate with NTL CS for a discount/credit on your NTL monthly bill for the inconvenience of

a) Having a BT line installed (if you don't already have one)
b) The monthly rental of your BT ADLS enabled line

This is what I did (but I am not prepared to discuss the fiscal amounts).

Without the discount, it would have not been financially viable for me to have kept the NTL TV package, NTL phone and, BT line and ADSL provider, I would simply have SKY TV and not NTL anything.

Another fact: What swayed me to go down this route was a call from NTL CS saying that in my area, SE24, they could not guarantee any BB before 2007! Basically they said it would either be 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 or 2007 at the latest!
