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

Just to repeat Kronas' question above, some of us are genuinely curious: if you can't get the services you want from ntl - ie interactive digital TV and broadband internet - why don't you buy it from sky instead?

So, if someone is waiting for NTL broadband - they are now class as someone from BT?

I've answered a similar question before. Please refer to my earlier post.

The 100 call test, well a lot more than that, was to see how bad NTL customers services were. Yes, they are really awful!

It is clear the proNTL mob do not understand the customers in London. We have covered this in great detail on the other thread. A wooden mallet springs to mind. The record will need to keep spinning until the information finally sinks into their head. It may take forever though.

A reasonable question. Here's an answer from me:

1. We are not allowed to set up a satellite dish as we are in a flat.

2. Dislike Rupert Murdoch and have no wish if we can help it, to add to his millions.

3. Generally happy with ntl services but we feel BB/interactive TV services ought to be available to us.

4. ntl appears to be extending BB etc services in parts of Greater London so it's reasonable to ask ntl managers what their plans are.

5. Have you considered the consequent financial loss for ntl if all those customers in Greater London do as you wish. It would probably mean immediate bankruptcy for ntl.

1) AFAIK you would be allowed a communal dish.

2) good point

3) couldn't agree more

4) also good point

5) what? again?

This is forbidden by the terms of the leasehold.

No - why should I? If you're going to attack me then at least get your facts straight.

Thanks m8. It's nice to see that in the midst of what is obviously a touchy subject, some folks can still answer an honest question with a polite answer!

I feel I understand things a bit better now.

Some good news for the London people with Broadband rolling out in South East London

SE15 and parts of SE5 are getting it and SE22 now has it. Can any ntl people confirm this or will the mods please find out for us.

bigitup_j · 12-07-2003, 17:28

when did i attack you what facts i never said anything of the sort just clarifying on something understanding this stance that you have because clearly you need to find an alternative provider as NTL cant provide you with a service why continue going on and on nothing will change untill the company does something itself thats what i am saying

You haven't and didn't - welcome to the London broadband thread where you have to kiss the arse of undisputedtruth or be accused of attacking him or being pro ntl

lol well if it was me i would not waste my time its common sense if your favored provider cant provide you with something you look for the next best thing until NTL sort it go to another provider if your that bothered about being an NTL customer

Tristan · 12-07-2003, 21:57

I thought you lot would all be celebrating the news that three London postcodes are getting broadband. Surely this is a sign that NTL are (slowly) bring broadband to ex-Videotron areas?

Also, Kronas, have you really managed to make 1400+ posts in a month, or have you doctored that somehow?
