So, what has happened then? Enough time has gone by. Either Andre did nothing OR ntl:could afford to ignore the question!

Sorry Rippedoff, does

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

constitute to you as contacting Andre directly? ...

It's a bit unfair to point the finger at Andre for not doing anything - unless you did indeed approach him directly, give him all the information and enough 'ammo' to go to ntl with something a little more substantial than anything you've posted here so far? ...

i am not spreading rumours. what i say is from the gindgy depths of ntl. ntl have in fact been told to get broadband to london this year and the executives have set a deadline for south london for 2003.

OK then, you are not spreading rumours.
From whom in what you call 'the gindgy depths of ntl', what is the 'gindy depths of ntl' - is that a department of customer services or sales? Who, exactly, has told ntl: that they have to get BB to London this year? Can you point me to written evidence of this? What executives have set a deadline for South London for 2003? Again can you substantiate this by directing me to written evidence or one of the executives involved.
Do you actually have any evidence of this that you can point me and others to? If not, I'm afraid you ARE just spreading rumours.

As usual, you answer for someone else. If I wanted an answer from you Orangebird, I would have directed the thread at you.
You immediately attack, then confirm that you attack before knowing the facts ('unless you did indeed approach him directly').
Get a life. If you also took the time to read Andre's original thread (or had the intelligence to understand it) you will see that it says nothing about contacting him directly but it did say about him contacting ntl: directly - maybe that's where your little brain got confused.
I am sure that Andre is big enough and intelligent enough to answer for himself without someone like you trying to defend him.

I am not at liberty to say my source. But it is from ntl. News of the executives setting a deadline was confirmed by ntl employees in the nthellworld.com forum. I am sure you can respect what i have said. And i will not discuss my source any longer, as it will simply turn into a pointless arguement.
thank you

Thank you for your reply. I will respect what you have said, and respect your loyalty to your source and hope that it all turns out to be true. But, you may have been lied to! One thing though, I do not recollect seeing confirmation of a dealdine on .com Can you by any chance post or PM me a link?
Cheers

Still up to your old tricks again then I see.

Nothing constructive in your post above nor in this one below.

I guess you have had your wrists slapped over the other site so you now come over here and try and bait the members into an argument here.

And as I have said before you go on no I AM NOT ONE OF THE PRO NTL MOB.

Well as I said over there whats the matter someone thrown your toys out of the pram.

Why not try and resolve it via PM.

At least someone on this site realises the comment made by Orangebird was extremely offensive and racist. The pro ntl mob argument certainly seems to have a ring of truth in it - the offensive post is still there. I have reported the post twice as I have felt it to be extremely offensive - but yet nothing has been done. If it was me or UDT that had posted such an offensive remark, we would probaly be not allowed to post again for a period of time, or at least, the post would have been removed. I do think that UDT's post is very to the point. Obviously you do not, and probably agree with Orangebird.

Telling somebody to 'go back to scotland' can be taken as very offensive, just as telling someone to 'go back to Asia/Pakistan/India etc' would be viewed in a bad light.

We will not tolerate slanging matches here people.

Ok....

I originally posted in here, & said if anyone wanted to contact me with a view to highlighting the London BB problem to ntl, thay they could.

So far no one has contacted me, so I have no option but to presume that people would rather moan that put together a case for us to approach ntl with.

This thread has now degenerated into a slanging match and has totally lost the plot.

OK, so you weren't contacted personally. Boo hoo! But on my post (post no.166) I asked publicly on the forum for the mods to take up the case. I thought that the question I wished to be asked on my (our) behalf was fairly clear. Maybe this forum does not really want to help unless is it for the pro-ntl mob, or something that actually affects them. To remind you, here is the relevant extract from that post (#166);

Quote:

I assume that the mods can read. I would hope that the mods would raise anything they thought was a 'hot' topic on behalf of the forum members, but just in case they won't, I will officially, on this thread, on this site, on this post, ask the mods to take up the issue on the behalf of the London ntl: customers who are deprived of BB and Interactive TV services (not just those who are members of this forum). So, here we go....

Quote:

Dear moderators of nthellworld.co.uk, On behalf of those ntl: London customers who do not yet have Interactive TV or BroadBand services available to them, could you please ask ntl: London Mangement for an official answer to the question: " What is the current situation with the introduction of BB and Interactive TV services to the franchises in London, mainly ex-CWC and Videotron, and can you give these customers an indication as to when, if ever, they are likely to receive these services. " Thank you, Rippedoff
