Thanks yet again for another of your stimulating threads. I will sleep better knowing this.

Bloody glad to see you back Scooby m8

Switch to NTL (preferably broadband) and you will realise how sh*t BTopenworld is!!!!!!!

 

[Deadmanwalking]

Hmmm did u say NTL and shit in same sentance?? If so good man

 

[Pro]v[etheus]

Can't say i've experienced any problems with NTL cable, must be the area you live in.

 

[-adz-]

I've heard loads of crap about NTL.

Besides download capping makes them the ultimate in lose

 

[Tom]

Only for ppl like adz who use warez

 

[yaesu]

Had NTL for about 5 years now, apart from a few minor "niggles", i would say its a mighty fine ISP.

Certainly the best on offer in the UK when you weigh up service/cost.

 

[old.D0LLySh33p]

yay!

 

[Deadmanwalking]

The best ISP in the UK?? sorry m8 dont take this the wrong way

HAHAHAHA

The one major problem i have with Cable apart from shitty service/d/l caps etc etc.. is the lack of choice. I have ADSL now if my ISP zen are shit (yet to see it) then i simply say ok sort it out or im off to one of millions ofo ther ISPS out there.

NTL know they have captive customers hence why they dont give a fuck

 

[yaesu]

I beg to differ mate, certainly NTL in my area offer a good service.
Yes they do have a captive audience to an extent, the lack of choice is a fundamental problem with regards to broadband/hi-speed services in the UK.
As far as capping is concerned i dont download anywhere to the limits imposed so is not particulary relevent to me.
i find them to be polite and they certainly do endeavour to help me with any queries or concerns i have, granted they dont always get "it right" first time, but then show me an ISP that does.
i was one of the first NTL cable modem customers in the country, i am still with them and i am on the whole very happy with the service.
i have certainly managed to avoid the many "horror" stories suffered by many people i know who use (or were using) BT.
Now there is company that REALLY doesnt give a sh*t !!!!!

 

[throdgrain]

My m8 in Liverpool is on NTL , for the last day or so he's had about 800 ping, and has been cursing
having said that, it mostly seems fine .

Yeah theyre alright. have some problems occasionally though

 

[joedark-64]

Wot is mildy interseting is that I use Freeserve broadband and amazingly have stunningly low pings! I should imagine the contention ratio in my area is really low as no one near me has a PC!
Point? Er.. well that it is contention ratio based so even someone like Freeserve can give you a good speed!

 

[Deadmanwalking]

Pings dont reflect ur speed trust me - to an extent but after that no.
