Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
No, there can only be one cable provider in each area.
If you 're with NTL, then that's whos in your area, not Telewest.
Each has monopoly in their own specified parts of the country.
Your only other (real) option is DSL with BT.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
Nope. Only ntl is available in (parts) or Rochdale. Theres no Telewest anywhere close. Liverpool or Sheffield are the closest places I know of to the North West that has Telewest.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades

Why not get ADSL without using BT as the ISP though?
Eg Plusnet, Freedom2Surf, Nildram etc....

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
I meant BT DSL, as BT own the DSL network.
Plus, if you were did go to AOL broadband, you would partly be using BT :P

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
Yeah sometimes they are sluggish bandwith repeated disconnections, e-mail which is more part time then the call centres.
I hope they start to sort these issues out cos we do like NTL for there prices but right now they being a ass

i think this free speed upgrade is going to our heads all we talk about is how bad ntl is what about the good points. when ntl complete the upgrades everyone will be happy and not have a bad word to say about ntl

So, to put it bluntly, if something goes wrong badly, hopefully it can be fixed before it affects loads of people. Actually, where I work , we do the same thing (although our network is on nowhere the same scale as NTL).
