NTL versus BT

Mez - I've heard that tiscali is quite good too - broadband from £16.99 I think. Isn't tiscali part of BT though?
 
I'm on BT broadband £28 mnth 576k........... Find it really fast, really stable, never goes down, does was it says on the tin......Not the cheapest but you no what they say? (get what ya pay for ) :)
 
I've just changed ISP to BT (still dial up) cos my 1st BT phone bill came in and it wasn't too pretty! Think I probably will go with NTL when I get my broadband connected though. I really don't use the computer enough to justify £28 a month - but thanks for the advice everyone!
 
NTL do Broadband from £17:99 a month i think it's 150k
first month is free too
 
Cheers Mick - actually getting offers all the time from NTL for their broadband - hope to get it soon.
 
I helped many people get broadband with NTL and ASDL using a BT line. The most reliable with out a doubt is NTL, although they do have their problems. NTL Currently have a 150k which they are replacing with a 300K for the same price £17.99. However BT are doing a 1mb for £28.99 @ the moment. With NTL broadband you do not need to dial you're just online when you turn on your computer which is nice and easy and no messing. BT phone lines i find are unreliable due mainly to interferance.

NTL cable modems can work on a usb lead or an ethernet cable. If your cable modem is on a usb lead and not on an ethernet cable the computer still thinks it a dialup modem. You may have a set top box or a cable modem i have not seen before.

No, But it is a good get out off jail free statment. so you dont have to click connect then and its not on auto connect and you are using a usb cable modem using the usb port and your not on a set top box, all these questions and no answers.
