Not what they did. but they way they did it.

So are you going to be harping on about it 10 years time, all bitter and twisted? And I'd also have a small wager that the only reasn other companies are so 'HONEST' about caps now, is because of the furor over the ntl 'GUIDELINE'.

I wasn't 'harping on about it' today.

Mark B made a point about BT now having a cap, to which I replied, pointing out a big difference.

Why would that be then?-because they saw how poorly ntl handled it by any chance?

I rest my case.

You don't have a case Neil, just a very old axe you really should've stopped grinding about 17 months ago....

Re: BT Lowers BB Prices.

I could list them but that wouldn't be fair. The NTL people won't (officially) read this or reply to defend themselves. Suffice to say every time I call NTL I always have a hard time.

There are helpful NTL staffers on this board. You've been talking to one of them all afternoon (or should I say 'getting stroppy with'? ) Most of us found this board because we had had a hard time from ntl but if you stick around long enough, and open your eyes, you might just find that people are trying to help you. Of course, if you'd rather just tut and keep moaning, go right ahead, and they'll give you a wide berth.

Re: BT Lowers BB Prices.

Well if anyone thinks my posts read stroppy thats fine - they're not intended to be. The problem with text is it's very difficult to convey tone of voice. You've all misread my tone. Thanks.

So, why no complaints about this from the usual suspects? Or could it be that all they want to do, as has long been suspected, is to bash ntl at every opportunity in order to satisfy their own personal agenda.
"why no complaints"
- probably cos no one on this forum has BT's broadband products?
