Bluetack, this forum is for constructive contributions in regard to the ntl London Broadband Programme. Everyone has the right to take part in the discussion and it is not helpful to tell other contributors to go away. I notice that you yourself have contributed elsewhere a whinging note about ntl digital tv services but no one told you to *** off.

Toleration and constructive contributions please and no more provocation.

Thank you.

so, se5, se15 and se22 are now all fully broadband enabled (interactive coming at later date). the ntl sales team have not be informed yet, and if you want broadband wait a few days until sales has been informed so ordering can take place.
warning: expect HUGE waiting lists for installation, it is going to be very very very very popular.

When BB gets launched in areas they usually send techs from other areas to them to help with the installs till it all settles down so hopefully they would do the same here

Here's a question. Given that STBs in this area are running CR1 (actually a funny CR1/CR2 hybrid), can they be used for STB broadband? If so, it's an easy way to beat the queues (and gets you faster '150k' to boot).

That's not the time to be laconic. Are you getting it?

You've been having verbal fits over this.

We know you will miss BT's finest Indian call centers and we are really sorry that you will have to deal with NTL's Glasgowegian riff-raff.

(I am sarcastic and I am referring to earlier udt posts)

I really don't know whether to get NTL bb. I virtually made up my mind 6 weeks ago to get ADSL.

Reasons against NTL are:

1) Email not working properly.
2) Their service is capped.
3) I can't trust the company
4) I'm sure Bluetack will agree - below par customer services.

I'm quite happy to listen to words of wisdom.
