Despite BT's wholesale price cut ntl report broadband installations are on the increase week on week & ntl/telewest combined (still worse for availability, compared to BT) are installing more broadband connections than adsl.

For some very strange reason, NTL seem to think that nobody lives out of a city - not town, but city.
You can really only get their services if you live in a city.</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Well maybe you can give then a couple of hundred million pounds to extend their privately financed & built network. ntl offer services where they expect to see a return, they are not a charity.</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">NTL are just not cabling or investing anywhere, hardly a good sign for a company supposedly going for growth. They can hardly grow if their user base is shrinking. Large numbers of BT dialup users are already leaving NTL for ADSL, thats a substantial revenue lose for NTL and will increase as BT have resumed their Rollout but NTL have not, does not sound like a very commercial decision to me to let BT come and just take your customers.
