Horay - Done It !!!!
Yipee..... Just called NTL and told them where to shove there p$ss poor service.
The lady I spoke to transfered me to house move's maybe in the vain hope of retaining my custome. I explained that I no longer want the services as of the end of the month. As I suspected the person on the other end was not bothered in the slightest. They gave me the date that the services will be restricted and then told me that necouse I have not given 30 days notice they will have to bill me until the 6th of april..... I could not be bothered to argue ! They did ask me how I found there services. I explained that I have never had a problem with the phone or the tv (apart from the red button marked crash  ) but that there internet service was useless. She then looked and said. " ah yes - I can see you have contacted technical services several times " - " we have had a lot of problems in the luton area "... She then asked me if I was going to use NTL again...... After I finished wetting myself I explained that I would not touch the BB service agian with a 200 foot barge pole. " I understand " was her reply.......
I did get through within 2 rings though once I had navigated the endless press 1 for this and 2 for that menu's
So thats it I am off. Looking forward to my pipex connection. NTL made no attempt to retain my custom even though my wife and I spend well over £100 a month with them......
Good bye NTL I would like to say its been a plesure but I wont - co's it hasn't

Much the same as I have from Ntl, same IP for over 2 years, no proxy ( at the moment) hardly ever had to call TS.
I suppose going to Pipex is cheaper than moving to gods own county.

Yeah I agree Stu should move to YORKSHIRE. 
I have Pipex, its slower than the BT service I had before. But its cheaper I suppose.

Re: Horay - Done It !!!!
Enjoy the lack of proxies - it's the one thing on NTL that annoys me.
