The OP has obviously had a bad experience with someone who (it appears) could not do his job properly.

No, I disagree, this is no longer a hate site but if someone has had bad experiences with ntl then they can post about them here and ask for help.

Re: NTL... The worst?! Oh Yes!

From personal experiance, ntl let you go a month behind with your bill, or if you go over your credit limit before they cut you off,

But i may be wrong

Re: NTL... The worst?! Oh Yes!

My main concern here is,time and time again we get a hostile thread title and the post immeadiately attacking an ntl employee,now dont get me wrong ntl are not perfect but there really is no need to create a post like this.

If you need help ask for it.

The billing system is automated as far as I am aware if the billing database sees a missed payement it will auto disconnect,I could be wrong no doubt someone can clarify this.

Re: NTL... The worst?! Oh Yes!

I remember a time not so long ago when BillC was crying about being picked on, and threatening to leave the board because of it, yet over the last few weeks he's been very quick to jump on peoples backs, maybe he has a short memory of what it feels like.

Regardless of the reasons for this problem (to the OP) it's still very bad service by NTL. The waiting times are very bad, and disconnecting someone because they are 2 days late, is quite harsh, imo.

Having said that though, i doubt it's the people on the phones' fault, they have a job to do and they do it.

Bill C has helped a lot of people and to be honest I can not see him "crying" over being picked on

Re: NTL... The worst?! Oh Yes!

If it was by DD and ntl took the money two days early, you'd have a bloody blue fit. I don't believe for a second that this guy was cut off due to be two days late paying at all, but late is late, end of. And I'm sure the rep on the phone WAS actually doing his job, but his job WAS NOT Freedom CS.

Strange as it works for most people

This problem has now been sorted and I am being disconnected in 10 days. I cannot wait to get back to BT and pay that extra £1 for AOL broadband. I am not prepared to use a service which is run by ADMIN EDIT (RUSS) - please do not use comments like that.
Oh come on behave .... they have millions of customers, only a minority have problems. Yours was self inflicted.

By the way, if you get a Cable Modem from AOL, guess what, yep, back on ntl ....

NTL is a communications company that doesn't communicate and it hasn't changed from the days when I worked there.
Name a "communications" compnay, in fact *any* large company that doesn't have that problem.

Thanks for the help and support from most... it's been greatly appreciated.
Good

Now that you have decided to leave, can I close this thread, and stop the pointless squabbling.

Your correct just happened here when we decided to have joint accounts without informing the bank we'd like to continue with existing DD's.
