original NTL areas
Are there areas which ntl built? What year did ntl start building networks? If i remember our area was done in about 1994 and we had service quite quickly after they ducted our road.
I rememeber watching them doing the ducting and they litterally just threw it in. It was quite amazing actually how fast they did it all.

Re: original NTL areas
Some areas were built by Cabletel, which was the company Barclay Knapp started which became ntl in time.

Re: original NTL areas
Not forgetting there was also Comtel, I know they used to cover the Stafford area.

Re: original NTL areas
We were Nynex. They did our area around 1994.

Re: original NTL areas
I think the new (well theyre not that new lmao) smooth ntl isolator houses are quite smart. I didnt like the old cable & wireless ones.
