NTL has almost left the building!

[Charlie_Bubble]

Just logged on to my new Pipex ADSL account. Set the router and modem up and everything went swimmingly first time. I must say that the download speed from newsservers is a couple of k down on NTL, but the web browsing is so much faster. Amazingly noticeable. Everything on a page is up in an instance, no hanging around waiting a couple of seconds as I was with NTL. I'm happy. Roll on Sunday and Sky installation!

I know how you feel 'CB'-It's a world apart ffrom ntl's pi$$ poor 'service' isn't it?

Enjoy!

Plus, I've just realised the download speed is pretty solid at 8:15pm, whereas on NTL, my part of the network must be full or something, because it's very patchy to download from the same server until after about 11pm.

Many thanks for the above contributions: Most sensible people form their own opinions.

Its patently obvious who is trolling on this site: Since you own it, thats fine - carry on. However, it is a free market - so give it a bit of passing respect?

Well Neil


Enough is enough i have just about had enough of your hatred for NTL why dont you just rename this forum the "ADSL is the best and NTL is SH$T forum".

What we need is a forum that is run by people that look at both sides of the coin not just 1



Was nice why it lasted.

Dont bother with a witty reply as i will not be here to read it.

I've seen the help that you've given to other people on here, so you would be a big loss, so don't go. You've even had a thread named after you

Calm down, calm down, eh?

But its all to waste if all users see is a total hatred for ntl with no give or take
from certain users of this forum they know who they are. It just gets on my nerves that for all the good work that has been done by so many differant users on this forum there is this hard core hatred of anything NTL by a few.

Now i can see me getting banned or something for this but it has to be said.

and this is not a EGO thing on my part i just think that this forum can be so helpfull for so many. NTL did not see it that way thats why they shut down .COM Please dont let this become a hate site again. That will help noone.

Thank you Bill - I'm sure that was a very fair description of ALL the people who help to run this site.

You are well aware that not everyone shares Neil's dislike of NTL. You (and he) know that we disagree on this. For instance - as you may have noticed - Mansfield suffered a major phone system failure today - so I rang our CS (on behalf of my parents) - I got through in about 7 minutes (bear in mind this was a big failure which generated a mass of calls).

Once connected the CS person clearly informed me that there was a switch failure affecting thousands of lines, and that engineers were on their way to fix it. He could not give me an estimated fix time as he was not aware what the fault was. No B$, just the facts - just what I expected from our local CS.

The people who run this forum all have different views of NTL - good & bad. That's what helps make it the site it is.

I know when I posted a thread praising ntl, Neil did the same thing as in this thread. I had the same problem again as the first this week and ntl sorted it out straight away no problem. Not all of the users are so against ntl regardless.

I know I haven't come to you for help, but I've seen that you were there before and that's what this site needs. Staff who can help. You are actually appreciated.

As i stated this is not a ego trip for me i just cannot see why there has to be this level of hatred from certain users. Any company can make mistakes.

I agree with you Bill, but at the end of the day.. if there was no one demeaning a company.. then why have a site?

It's human instinct, when something goes wrong.. You find the source and blame it, which is what's going on here. Obviousley Neil's had a bad time with NTL.. Is finding Pipex good, thus raving about it

I never once had a problem with NTL, but because I needed to get rid of DTV, decided to change to Pipex.. where im not having any problems either.

Conflicting user's are what make's a message board work, would be boring to disagree all the time

I agree

Gee i am the first to admit that NTL are not perfect infact if they where i would be out of a job. But i can see both sides not just one. And that is what is needed. Not a mad hatred. I hate BT in fact i took them to court and won but you dont see me posting how much i hate them everytime the slighest good words are said about them.
