Re: NTL Officialy nowhere
I am puzzled as to why bulldog gets on this list - after reading/monitoriing their problems on the ADSL guide forums I wouldnt expect them to get good reviews.

Lo 'Orange' 
It's a shame that the same level of worry isn't displayed by those at the top of the ntl tree (I'm sure I can stick in a monkey/tree joke here somewhere!)
It's apparent that thay don't, & I can't help but feel with ADSL becoming ever more easier for people to obtain, that they will live to regret the apathetic that they have displayed for so long.
(Not aimed at you obviously!)

It's an entirely selfish worry....unfortunately for me, I only have my salary to live on - if things do go pearshaped, I'm sure our illustrious leaders have a few spare pennies or share options (  ) in the bank to pay the mortgage ...

Why should they care? Whether ntl wins or loses (business wise), they'll walk away with healthier bank balances...

Hi Orange,
It's sad really that when NTL is doing well the bosses get the perks, big salaries, pay rises etc and the workers get a pittance and when things are going badly the bosses get the perks, big salaries, pay rises etc and the workers get redundancy!
Fortunately, I notice that a few other organisations making cuts are cutting managerial positions at head office so the chickens may come home to roost yet at NTL!!
Stand by to take over a vacant position!!
You might end up as CEO!!
Have a good day!!

Good, that will wipe the smug grin off their faces which they've had every other year.

Yes it is, and it's also a big problem for a lot of people. Take a look around this forum to see the evidence
I'm not bitter, I just hope them not being nominated will give them a kick up the arse they need to improve their service.

Re: NTL Officialy nowhere
