"Goddamn NTL"

Since Monday the broadband service has been either intermittent or non-existent, giving me a latency of 3000+ on WoW.
I finish work and am home by 11am, ready to play for the day and enjoy this game.
Only to find myself repeatedly disconnected or, on occasion, lagged beyond belief to the extent it's unplayable.

Poxy idiotic NTL and their call-centre monkeys that can't offer a time-frame on the problem, nor can they explain why it's been like this since Xmas.
Another 30 mins and then I'm phoning again.

That's BS, I've been jerked around a bit by Blueyonder but nothing like that. Aren't there any other cable companies in your area, or is it just too much hassle to change?

"It's all in the reflexes"

I had trouble with NTL when I lived in Cambridge too. Seeme like they suck all over, even though the packages are quite good and competitively priced.

I thought it was because you don't have E-numbered and coke enhanced reflexes......

I generally find now that instead of having a crap connection all day, it's non-existant in the morning, ok-ish mid-day, then acceptable at about 10 at night, with small bursts of nothingness at random intervals for random amounts of time.

Now do you see why I get such lousy scores at CS?

Thats a lot of narked people.

Recorded message saying
"Customers in CM17,18,19,20,21,22,23 and 24 are experiencing an intermittent or total loss of service. Please accept our apologies"

That's an awful lot of people being jerked around, again, by NTL

Had it a year and just had one Saturday were it was down most of the day, other than that no problem.

Goatboy, you hypercritic you.

I've been disconnected a couple of times, for about 5 seconds.
