I didn't know this?!

I hate NTL's support line. We had to change our set-top box and the fucker on the other end said that it could handle more than 1 mbps when it couldn't - the guy in India told me as much.

One rule, always get the name of the guy you're talking to - I moaned so much I got six months worth of the family pack half price. It isn't much but it helps.

What other differences does it offer apart from no Sky channels?
Was there a website mentioned with a petition to sign to stop them doing this?

Explain? The old man has just updated his NTL package with them so may need to advise him.

I thought the situation was that Sky was going to pull the channels from ntl because they couldn't agree a new deal, but it was all sorted in the end..its Sky having a hissy fit and blowing hot air because they feel threatened by the new Virgin merger.

all i know is after the football there was an advert from Sky saying that Virgin(NTL) no longer wanted the channels or something? They advised people to phone NTL and reconsider.
