Just to show that its not just Neil that has this "hatred" for NTL, I agree 100% with what he said about the quality of NTL's service.
This is why I too am leaving for Pipex.
And he should have the right to say what he thinks of them, otherwise this becomes just a NTL praise site.

The point I was making is (since this topic got dragged back up) that a mod of a site is suppose to take somewhat of a back seat, be a little more neutral, now this place feels more like an NTL hate site than .com did at any point in it's last year.

How can a mod or an admin on a site like this possibly be expected to be neutral? Neil helped set the thing up and helps to pay for it. He does so because he has understandably strong feelings on the subject of NTL. To expect him not to voice those opinions is unreasonable. It's fair to expect neutrality in that the mods and admins should give equal space for both pro- and anti-ntl comments, but that's quite different from not expressing an opinion of their own. I don't see any evidence that they are failing to allow fair discussion of both positive and negative opinions of ntl.

I would expect that an owner, admin or mod of a site that claims to be "Your number one Cable Resource" to have an interest in cable and be supportive of that platform.
Neil is quite free to say what he wants about NTL on "his" site but I cannot understand how the dropping of the "hell" name helps the progress of the site when there is so much hatred shown in posts and signatures.

And now we're At The Crossroads again. Which way now - get told off for going off topic, or discuss the issues surrounding Charlie Bubble's decision to start the thread in the first place?

Re: NTL has almost left the building!
Charlie_Bubble started this thread and gave us his initial impression of his new Pipex service which hopefully will continue to be a good service for him.
I left NTL for Sky on the DTV front as Sky gave me a far better DTV service than NTL ever did. I still have NTL telephone and broadband but it looks like I will be dropping the telephone when my current subsidies come to an end.
Even if I dropped all NTL services I would continue to visit sites such as this because I prefer to have the best possible service at the best possible price. In areas where NTL do not come up to my expectations at this moment in time I am looking for evidence that they are improving or becoming more competitive and when I think that NTL are in a position to provide the services that I require at a realistic price I will consider moving back to them.
If I do drop all NTL services I will not hate NTL but will be sad that I have had to take this course of action.
The one thing that I do realise is that not all NTL customers get a bad service. No supplier of DTV, telephony and internet products is perfect and we can only judge based on our own experiences.

Everything on a page is up in an instance, no hanging around waiting a couple of seconds as I was with NTL. I'm happy. Roll on Sunday and Sky installation! |
as the thread was started by this post, I think Neil is quite justified in offering his negative opinions on NTL - as the thread is clearly in the tone of an unhappy NTL customer who has now made the great escape.

Re: NTL has almost left the building!
No offence but this is why this place has become nothing more than a boys club most of the time.

Absolutely spot on. Bill C is also spot on about Neil's attitude too.
He behaves like someone who has had his football confiscated.
This site isnt here to help customers, its here to groom a few peoples big big ego's. Dont get me wrong. Many of you have good intentions and are always helping for helping sake. But some do it for medals.
I cant believe that Bifta had a bad experience with Pipex!
Thats impossible!!!!!!!
He must be making it up!!!!!!!!!!
No doubt ill now be told off for being off topic or having the wrong colour shirt on or something 
Im bailing too. Ill still help people who visit my site but as for here.
STICK IT WHERE THE SUN DOESNT SHINE. WHY WOULD I WASTE MY TIME WHEN PEOPLE ARE MAKING A MONKEY OF ME??????????
