Re: The absolutely amazingly fantasticly fast Cable TV service (sarcasm alert!)
I had the same problem as Simsut, but I put my new sound system amp directly on top of the Pace STB, it overheated and fried as I had covered the air vents, (but there again it may have died becasue of the thunderstorm we had the previous night). The ntl engineer replaced my Pace box with a Samsung one and the problem went away.

Re: The absolutely amazingly fantasticly fast Cable TV service (sarcasm alert!)
No mate, unfortunately someone at the bottom of the chain has dropped out and someone in the mean time put in a better offer on the property I was buying with my sister and my mum so we are really in the ****e now, we put in an offer on another house and that was turned down.
I am going to have a word tomorrow to sign up with another ISP, I am liasing with Fast24 at the moment and also with Sky Digital to see if they would be nice enough to charge me just the once for installing the ADSL and TV services for my current house (I am unlikely to move until December/January now) and for when I move....
Even so, I still have every right to tell other people about how poorly treated I have been and how poor the services are, its a shame a few gems such as Monkeybreath and JustAnotherN00b have to work for such an incompetent bunch

Thank you for you latest contribution. I'm pretty sure everyone has got the picture of how you feel about them by now. Was yet another post about it really necessary.

I'm sure others have had as many problems as you. Yes you do have a right to post, but after a while it gets boring and you don't put yourself over very well by your constant profanity.

There is a large difference between posting a genuine grievance and just trolling the thread with a line of profanity that adds nothing to the topic at all.
You seem to have trouble understanding that people will only put up with so much moaning and bitching before they get fed up and are no longer interested in what problems you may have.

Re: The absolutely amazingly fantasticly fast Cable TV service (sarcasm alert!)
Yes but posting that sort of thing over and over again isn't really going to do any good is it?

Well I don't expect you to drag up an old topic two month later
I don't see any great benefit in resurecting the old arguments in this thread. If you have any new problems you want help with (assuming you haven't moved from ntl yet) then it think it best to start a new thread.
