Do NTL block VPN?

Hi,

I'm considering moving over to NTL for my Internet access using one of their triple-play (phone / TV / internet) offers.

In the dim & distant past I'm sure I was told that NTL blocks the use of VPN on their home connections but not on the business version.

I need occasional access to work using VPN, so if it's true then I obviously can't open an account with them - so do thewy block VPN?

PPTP works with ntl for me, as does my work vpn, which is SSL-wrapped over HTTPS.

Not got any L2TP to connect to for testing, but I've not heard of it being blocked.
 
It is extremely difficult to disconnect from ntl

I had been ntl customer for many years and used to use VPN with ntl broadband to connect to my PC in the office from home. If you mean software VPN, you should be all right. ntl broadband is quite reliable. The downside about ntl is that you have to wait for at least 45 minutes if you need to talk to them for support. It is extremely difficult to disconnect from ntl. I moved house on 3rd August and my phone line from ntl was only disconnected this morning after many phone calls and many hours waiting time. ntl still owes me lots of money.
