NTL Green Box

[Charlie_Bubble]

Was outside earlier putting some new grass seed on the lawn and found a green NTL box in the grounds of the flats round the back corner from my flat. It's part of the grounds no-one goes. Anyway, the actual front is just hanging on a ridge on the top of the main case. I was able to lift it off with no problem and look inside. The inside is disgusting, wires everywhere (Some even popping out the side of the box), snails, spiders. God, it's amazing we actually get signal in the building looking at the inside of that thing!

Then here is a suggestion that might just help


Report it to NTL

Suggestion noted. If I was staying with them I might, but as I will soon have a nice shiny mesh dish on the side of my flat, I'm not very motivated. I don't think I'll be going back to NTL. Well, not in this lifetime anyway. They've had their pound of flesh from me.

I understand your thinking CB (wtf have ntl ever done for me?), but think of the other poor peeps who may not know that their cabinet is knackered.

Do the decent thing-give ntl a ring.

I did, and I tucked the wires that had been hanging out back inside. What number do I call? I suppose I should be public spirited.

I'll go out tomorrow and have a look. It's dark outside now. It's a box for just our block of flats, does that matter? Not sure if it serves anyone outside of our building.

All done. Let's hope they get round and sort it out.

I know what you mean. Charlie. My local cabinet has been open for well over a year, and I once lost service for like 4 days, because some idiot came along and ripped out all the cables. Fixing it is not so easy. When I called up and reported it at the time (the engineer said he would as well), I just got punted around what seems like every department in NTL, before getting to a guy who said he would deal with it. The only trouble was, I seemed to have interrupted his lunch, and I don't think he knew what a street cabinet was.

But good news. I was trying to find the thead I started a while ago about my street cab, when I stumbled across this one. I'm happy to say, the cabinet has been fixed. It was nothing to do with me, because I just forgot about it like normal, so if anyone on here did anything on here to fix it (expecially Pritch or peachy), I'm eternally grateful

I notice that one near me has just been repainted, albiet in a lighter shade of Green & there are lots of splatters of paint on the road...

I think the door is still broken though
