What is NTL?

I see this all over this board and i've been wondering, what is NTL? i tried to find something about it on the internet and all i've come up with is that it's some sort of internet hosting site, is that really all it is? (i'm starting to take a webmasters course at my school right now so i think i might actually understand what it is, lol, yeah right, haha, but it's worth trying to explain to me anyways, haha, thanks!)

- usual discaimer about Wikipedia possibly not being up to date, of course, but most of it should be ok.

Re: What is NTL?

Kuragari, I guess you're not based in the UK?

NTL is one of our cable companies... have a look at www.ntl.com and you'll see what they offer. They're currently merging with the other cable operator within the UK, Telewest. Homealone's link to wikipedia discusses that merger, if you're really that interested.

The vast majority of users here are NTL customers, and there's also some employees that post here too.

Re: What is NTL?

Yep, NTL do phone services, Cable Internet, and Cable TV......
Some people have a briliant stress free service, whilst others have been to hell and back with NTL,.......as with all companies, there are good and bad points.
