I have been disconnected 7 times in the last 24hours ok it was a min or two but try using the internet dropping it that many times. What is more annoying it can't do it when we are not using the internet just when its in use

I didnt bother since my previous experience has shown india dont accept fault reports they just run through my equipment looking for faults. Instead I turned the pc off went to bed and it was fixed when I got up.

Phew, I've been meaning to type that for about 12 months

Punctuation and grammar can significantly alter the meaning of a post. Sometimes though the real meaning isn't always apparent when first read.

So far today I have dropped the internet twice but instead of 1min each time its been 3 mins.

Yes - you mean! Punctuation and grammar can. Significantly alter the meaning of a post, sometimes. Though the real meaning isn't, always, apparent; when first read?

Here's a little puzzle to ponder. The following sentence is grammatically correct, it just needs to be given the correct punctuation.

Ann while Bob had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher.

This is getting a little Off Topic innit .....

Florence · 25-02-2005, 15:46

Looks like they are spamming the thread with useless information stopping me from getting my problem sorted.

also it is bad manners to pick on others posts about their grammer/spellings as some could be dyslixic and it isn't nice to draw attention to these.

Sorry to sounds harsh here, but if you can't be bothered to report the fault to ntl, don't come here & bitch about it.

You need to vote to get your voice heard, no vote=no say, end of.

Chrysalis · 25-02-2005, 17:59

nothing to do with lazyness Neil, have you read my post from last time I tried to report a fault?

NTL make it impossible to report a fault now so its just not possible, please tell me why I should waste my time and get frustrated doing so, if it was so easy dont you think kits current problem would now be resolved?

Sorry Neil I think that is harsh mate.

I was under the impression that this site / forum was precicely for this reason, for people who are at thier wits end with ntl to draw upon the knowledge and helpfulness of people on the site / forum.

Or am I wrong?

/prepares to get flamed....

If Neil's defending ntl then it MUST be a strong argument!

He's right though. With any company, you need to report a fault. You can't ring up and say 'oh by the way my service hasn't worked for six months, please refund all my money'. You have to let the firm know. No other company is any different.

It is, but that doesn't mean people will give crap advice just because it's what someone wants to hear.

I think that Neil is trying to say that if no-body reports these problems to NTL then they are going to think that all is hunkey/dorey...

Trouble is that if evryone reported every fault every time the NTL phone system would draw so much power that every lightbulb in the world would dim and the phone system control box would go nuclear and the world would see a very large mushroom cloud in the air !

The people on the site can only cure the symptom and not the cause of the problem. Only NTL can do that - if they feel like it of corse (bless em)
