Without stating the obvious, there are a number of the proNTL mob willing to sabotage the thread. You have also witness the Gogogo attack on Rippedoff and earlier on in the thread Gogogo agreement with Bluetack on his attack on me. I would question Gogogo motive for being on this thread.

We shoud re-read Rippedoff earlier post where he stated that anyone with no interest in broadband in London, ie those not living in London, do not have to participate in the thread. NTL employess are welcome provided they can post substantial evidence.

If someone wants to get in touch with me with a view to contacting ntl directly about London broadband on behalf of this site, I/we will gladly put a plan of action together with a view to getting an official response from ntl that they can't ignore

So, I take it from this , you are going to take it up on our behalf.

Thank you.

I don't really understand the point you are trying to make here. It is however interesting that you do not seem to suuport us complaining about the lack of CR3 / BB in parts of London, but, at others times you do seem to suuport our view!

You & udt imagine everyone is against you. You are abusive to anyone you think disagrees with you, frankly at the rate of scaring people off you & udt will be the only ones left posting here.

ntl is not all bad it does provide satisfactory services: phone connexion excellent, dial up internet excellent, digital tv excellent and e-mail access has improved considerably. Give at least some credit to ntl . My concern is that we are denied BB/interactive or enhanced TV services in this area and no one at senior level in ntl appears to be able to clarify what's going on. Some people think money is the problem but clearly some money is being spent as BB is being rolled out somewhere.

No I'm not anti-ntl, there is NO anti-London conspiracy.

I hope you will be clearer in your mind now. Everyone has the right to be involved and take part in this thread, the more people involved the better no matter what they have to say. It' s better to be constructive.

Now I'm off to work.

Actually I found the equivelant services offered by CWCom better than the ones that NTL forced on us - for example the CWCom 1571 voicemail was far superior to the crappy NTL one. It was more user friendly.

Yes dial-up is excellent but so was the dial-up I had under Videotron / CWCom. I could choose a range of ISP's and get unmetered connection to them during evening / weekend and bank holidays. NTL are the company that finally killed this off, although CWCom started the ball roling. This was the reason why Alistair Scott set up CW watch and then became port of CUT with Erol.

Apart from adding more channels NTL haven't really given me anything extra that I never had under CWCom.

Well, I must confess, they have given me some things that I never got with C&W .....
Broken promises that BB / Intercative TV was 'coming soon'....over 2 years ago...........
A letter last year telling me I was being upgraded in November 2002 (CR3 / BB) ........ but we all know what happened...... what they still haven't given me (or anyone else for that matter) is a letter telling people it was a mistake and an apology for their mistake. The only way people know it was a mistake was through the forums or by phoning CS and asking what happened to the upgrade.
Just recently, dial-up email not working properly for around 3 weeks, and the service status page just directing you to the terms of service instead of reasons for problems and an estimated time of resolution..........
Increased prices.............

I am sure there is more.........

Thread re-open, certain 'heated' posts have been removed. Can we please try to avoid having personal gripes with other members. I said this previously, discuss the London Broadband issue to your hearts content, but do not bring the thread down by throwing insults around.

I'm afraid if we can't discuss the issue without having a 'dig' or two at someone, then if the next time this thread is closed, it will remain closed.

Isn't that unfair? Another abusive comment from the likes of BT, who afaik has nothing to do with ntl in London, can easily get this thread closed?

This thread has been open closed quite a few times and not because of one particular member. If one member is insulting then it starts a chain reaction that a few jump on the bandwagon and before long the thread is all over the place and veered from the main theme.

Agreed Dr. Plummer lets all keep it friendly and not engage in silly insults or implied insults.

ok so can udt answer this question if an alternative broadband provider is available in your area why not join them ?

i thought your 100 call test was over by now

there is nothing special about ntl broadband really that warrents all this aggression and tension that i see

the words 'move on' spring to my mind

bigitup_j · 12-07-2003, 10:04

well just to tell you postcodes SE22(main target), SE15 and SE5 now have broadband!!!

that is excellent new for people in those areas, so the ntl upgrade team move on to another area.
ntl broadband upgrade team, coming to a place near YOU!

the source is ntl.
