how long have you been with ntl

shibby · 24-01-2005, 03:04

tought i just make a little thread to see how long people have been with ntl.
my parents first got cable in something like 1992-1994 i can't remember.
at the time it was with nynex which then was taken over by cable and wireless which has now been taken over by NTL.

so anyone been with them for that long? see we are faithfull customers

at some point when we had one of the services, we were having work done on our house after threatening to sue nationwide after they did a drive by survey of our house which turns out to be subsidising. anyway other they settled out of court the work started on the house and as the buliders were doing some pileing(i think) they had hit a cable that was something like half 20cm under the tarmac. this cable i think belonged to BT but for some strange reason it had knocked of the a few neighbors boxes and also i think it mite of caused a power cut. boy it was fun seeing all the neighbors come outside and wonder wtf was happing lol. but it wasn't so funny when the bulider showed up pictures of a friend of his who had hit a gas pipe

gone slighty off topic haven't it

sorry if this is in the wrong place.

Got the TV service in 1999 and switched from BT Broadband to Ntl broadband in 2003.

Since 1997, although it looks like this will be my last year with them.
When I signed up, there was NOTHING to touch NTL for BB, now they've been left behind (sadly)

I had the TV service from 1997 till 2000 I know have SKy and will never look back. but for broadband NTL Rule, apart from there billing system, I never have outages etc. its a crackin service. and they never manage to bill me the full amount...

too long for me to remember, i beleive its since about 95-96 for tv and phone. Changed to Digital and BB in 2000

I used to be with Screaming Net and World Online but then they suddenly got over subscribed and were really bad so I changed to NTL in the year 2000 when I had a special promotion at Uni.
I've been with NTL ever since and am reasonably happy with them.

we've had ntl formerly cable&wireless formly nynex since 1992/3 - only ever had telephone. we got digital tv from c&w as soon as it was released, in March 2000. and we've still got it...

altis · 24-01-2005, 10:11

IIRC, autumn 2001 when broadband became available in our area.

Stuart · 24-01-2005, 10:15

Got Analogue TV when Cable & Wireless started making noise about introducing Broadband in my area (about 1997 or 8). Got Digital TV when Cable & Wireless first offered it (2000). Got Broadband when NTL took over and offered it in 2000.

Mal · 24-01-2005, 10:16

I got tv in 1996 from Nynex, changed to digital in 1999 when it was C&W, a phone in 2000 and then BB from ntl in 2001.

long time , going back to the days of comcast and analogue cable

Graham M · 24-01-2005, 10:55

We got Analogue Cable TV & Telephone from NTL in about 1996?? We upgraded to Digital with Broadband as soon as it became available in about 2000.

Would you like me to add a poll to this thread? It might be interesting to see the answer to your question 'at a glance'.
