Where? What follows below is another statement from you, which I am not in a position to challenge, what goes on in SE London I wouldn't know. By the way, NTl is a corporate entity and what employees, who may not be in executive posts, have to say may not always be in tune with what the company believes ought to be communicated.

Videotron cabled it poorly and cheaply, fact, hence broadband couldn't launch at the same time as everywhere else, fact. ntl are fixing the cabling in VCL areas, fact, it's a long, slow job, fact, as it's fixed and proved working it's launching, fact. To deny that VCL didn't cable it poorly means that you think they cabled it well and therefore you must have some other reason why ntl didn't launch their top-selling product in VCL London two years ago along with non-VCL London. Let's hear that reason. The number of people on broadband in the SE London area now is higher than it was a few months ago (fact) when people started commenting on here about leafleting and sales campaigns in the SE area advertising broadband (fact), which sounds very much like official Videotron cabled it poorly and cheaply, fact, hence broadband couldn't launch at the same time as everywhere else, fact. ntl are fixing the cabling in VCL areas, fact, it's a long, slow job, fact, as it's fixed and proved working it's launching, fact.

You were one of the contributors to this site and the .com site who gave a very strong impression as did other NTL employees, that the Videotron cabling was poor and unsuitable for carrying BB, now it appears your tune has changed and suddenly we are seeing BB on Videotron cabling is possible after all. Indeed as you say: *Things don't stay the same* a new tune is being sung!

I anticipate a day where virtually all VCL customers can get cable broadband, but it certainly won't be by Christmas 2003. I deliberately don't comment on launch dates because I *don't* want to mislead, so don't accuse me of it. I think what a reasonable person would conclude is that ntl are *doing something about cable broadband in VCL areas*, slowly certainly, but nevertheless true. This has been frequently denied on here and elsewhere by mad trolls like UDT, who I notice is rather quiet at the moment.

No one is accusing you of anything apart from having indicated as others have in the past that Videotron cabling was rubbish and could not carry BB. I've never mentioned dates in these posts.
Ok. Indeed I would like to believe I'm a reasonable person, it is obvious NTL is extending availablity of BB on Videotron in SE London postcodes I'm in no position to say otherwise. UDT having been naughty is I believe banned. What I can say is there are no visible signs that NTL are doing anything in regard to upgrading videotron cabling in this area, which is no where near SE London. As we hope to be buying a new property soon in Hertfordshire I've now lost interest in this area. We are NTL telephony and NTL dial up internet customers here.
