I keep pulling the handle but all I get is three lemons.
Come on NTL, Oldham needs testing.

BTW. Looks like "the Bloke in the Pub" was almost right when he said October speed update.

What month are we now, disbelievers?

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/article/...ed-as-standard It says on there they will also offer a series of unlimited products that have no caps and since there are 3 tiers now I am guessing they will have 3 unlimited tiers priced 17.99, 24.99 and 37.99 a month.

So

would i be correct in saying they did not say they would have 3 but in fact would have a series which could be 2 or more

. In a nit picking mood tonight

Me mate on Telewest got a upgrade a couple of weeks ago and his is approx 8MB [ although TW also say its 10MB service] Makes getting games off of Fileplanet faster but how many times are you going to use those speeds.

A lot of people will abuse it for a while im sure, but the novelty will soon wear off.

Trials month

doesn't really count as 'speed update' month. Products are certainly not going to be commercially available this month, so his guesses based on the grapevine don't work this time

Considering ntl themselves didn't know until recently the dates for trialling and releasing bloke in pub must have had a few when he gave out dates for things that were still on the drawing board

All very odd cause after reading the latest posts in this forum i phoned NTL customer support this morning and they told me

"NO ONE has 10mb service, it is going to be December before ANY ONE gets it".

I explained to him that people in this forum are saying they have it an he simply and clearly said

"this is UNTRUE"

He then went on to tell me

"NTHELL is not run by ntl an there for what u read here is rubbish"

i pointed out to him that i was aware that the forum is not run by ntl but explained that some NTL staff/engineers use it to which he replied

"those people wouldnt know as ntl has not confirmed anything to anyone at this time".

Now either this particular Ntl employee is not being told whats happening or he is just plain lying to people. lol Not like them to do that.

But 1 thing did become very clear during this phone call an that is that ntl customer service dont give a **** about paying customers inquiries.
Ntl should take a tip from the bt advert "its good to talk" an maybe retrain some of there staff as in the case of this person he lacked the basic ability to be civil. But he will be pleased to know that a complaint was logged against him shortly afterwards not that i expect ntl to take any notice.

So once again in the words of NTL .....
"NO ONE HAS THE 10mb SERVICE AN WONT UNTILL DECEMBER"

Ill leave it to you to work out whos the liar.
