To be fair we have been with them for different things for 10 years. Haven't had that many problems with them. I'm sure it's similar with all companies. I was trying to sort out my Aunt's BT the other week & that was a pain too!!

Oh Dear :( :( That is all you need with the children home as well. I dont actually use ntl for the tv but do know by looking at the latest server status on ntl that there is a major problem up and down the country at the moment with TV connections. http://status-cable.virginmedia(.)com/vmstatus/summary.do Colin :):)

Hi Penny :):) I hope you manage to get sorted with NTL :):) I know what you must be going through, here is a post I posted on another forum yesterday NTL. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR My ntl internet went down today. I did all the initial things that someone does but nothing, no connection. Rang NTL who are now charging 10p to connect and 25 p per minute for technical advice. I asked them if the servers were down. No of course not this is ntl they dont get problems do they. I spent half an hour on the phone, staying calm and polite, played the game they wanted me to and done all the same checks I had already done. Then they suddenly looked up and said ' You had better put your computer in the shop as its a technical thing. That did it for me I swore at them ( oh dear not often I lose my rag but they wound me up today. I told them that I would first check with other local people and see if they had any problems today..mmmm five minutes later, guess what, the internet suddenly came back on. Colin, not in a very good mood with ntl today. Good Luck. Colin :):)
