Yep, it's true. According to Oftel (or Ofcom as I think they are now) NTL, BT, Pipex and Tiscali were the most complained about ISPs.

NTL was better than One-Tel, but both were merely average and AOL & Freeserve are the best...

Have a look at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/3284529.stm

Maybe that's because everyone knows that NTL never listen, so customers have given up complaining

So this shows, in order worst to best:
BT
Pipex
Tiscali
One-Tel
Demon
NTL
Freeserve
Telewest
AOL

So NTL aren't the worst

These are complaints to OfTel/OfCom, not to NTL itself.

I've lost count on the number of these sort of remarks you made towards people who have post negative posts about ntl over the last 2 years.

please go back & read Incog's post again - I think you will find she was sticking up for you. I assume it was a misunderstanding and it would be really nice if you could apologise for that prompting your, less than gracious, reply.

Re: NTL not most complained about Broadband Provider shock!

Really?Well as I've only been posting at TOS since (12/03/2002) it would be impossible for me to have been picking on anti-NTL folk for 2 years as you have insinuated.I also challenge you to actually point to those threads where I have picked on Anti ntl posters.

I just pick on the negative souls who make rude and personal remarks about people they do not know and make generalised insulting comments about anyone who has a differing opinion to yours.

I also (if you had even bothered to engage the one brain cell you do possess) have been complaining about those who do set out to pick on you.

However you appear to like sounding ridiculous so please carry on.
