Re: what has happened to NTL
Where have you been living? 
NTL mergered with telewest whicha re now own buy Virgin and are called Virgin Media
If you have an old NTL or Telewest box channel 999 is the info channel and 119 is the Video On Demand Channel, the only thing you will noice is that Virgin will be on your bill and not NTL Telewest

 yep .i have been with ntl for so long i just dont take any notice ,i just pay my £17.99 per month and the internet connection works ,
i only noticed today when i checked my bank statement and saw a payment to Virgin ,methinking i dont have anything with virgin .
looks like i do now then .
well as long as it's reliable and the price dont go up i surpose i will just plod on with it , till it gets taken over by someone else .
i really must pay more attention

Re: what has happened to NTL
One of the letters from virgin had: "IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR NTL:TELEWEST CUSTOMERS" printed out the outside of the envelope. I really dont think they could have been any clearer.

Re: what has happened to NTL
What about the terms ... ?
The old NTL had a free help number for customers,
The old Virgin always charged on their help line,
so have they changed the terms ... ?
Is the help line charged now, or still free ... ?

Re: what has happened to NTL
You have to wonder what planet some people live on
BTW, NTL were not taken over by Virgin, they sort of merged - and then decided to rebrand as VirginMedia.

Re: what has happened to NTL
Yeah.
Some planets might be nicer than here ...
So,
has the free help line sort of merged - and rebranded into a pricey
not free help line ...
Actually i don't think any of the planets in this system would be
viable, except possibly Venus after considerable terra-forming over
many years.

Re: what has happened to NTL
You can get through to Virgin Media CS free on 150 and free faults/bb support on 151 if you have a landline from them.
If not its 0845 454 1111 for CS/Faults and the same broadband support numbers for ex-ntl and ex-telewest
