Platforms
Seen a number of references to 'Bromley' or 'Langley' platforms. What does this mean exactly, what is the difference, how do I find which one I'm on (or are there more) and does it matter anyway?
Anyone got any answers?

Re: Platforms
Bromley refers to those areas once served by Cable & Wireless and Langley refers to those areas that were always served by NTL...
Alternatively, I've always found the platforms available here rather chic...

interesting diversionary link  
and to say that 'original NTL' also included other franchises like Diamond Cable.
So, having failed to fully integrate langley & bromley, the plan is, obviously, to integrate telewest & virgin, as well, to solve all the problems

Yeah, when I first signed up to cable it was Diamond Cable in this area, but they were just starting to swap over to ntl.

Re: Platforms
Funny that they all end in -ley, I thought. K,B or L, as we say internally.
Oddly enough, having been essentially set up by the same people, K and B are far more similar than B and L, which explains why the assimilation of ntl/C&W was so hard. I'd anticipate things being a bit easier with bringing K on board.
