Yes, that's right.
I've just has a chat with some hard-to-understand Irish woman about getting a 600k broadband connection installed, and I also asked her whether I could have their 'broadband + console' package, so I could use my PS2 to go online as well as my PC.
She got confused.
She said that I'd be able to download games but not be able to play online with my PS2, even though they are advertising that I could do so on their homepage.
Also, I'm pretty certain a few users on here are online with their PS2's using an ntl broadband connection. If so, why are they saying I can't?
Shouls I get a broadband connection and just hook my PS2 up anyway?
Someone help.
Thank you.

Yes, when you sign up for central station, it has an option of NTL there, so it is compatible.

Yes. This woman obviously doesn't have a clue what she's talking about.
Not only are they advertising it on their website, but they have also confirmed to one of the PS2 mags (either OPS2 or PSM2, can't remember which) that they will be offering special package.
Plus, they also already support Xbox Live, so they're obviously ready for PS2.

Ok, thanks a lot fellas.
This means I'll be ringing 'em up and asking for a 600k broadband connection tomorrow.
I think I should complain - you'd think they'd be able to get their own facts right, wouldn't you?

I take it when you get this broadband installed and you have your PS2 Online, you WILL be joining ~SRS~ the Special Reserve Sonyphiles clan. When will your PS2 be online?

Well I am using my ntl connection to play so she must be wrong.

LOL I've already declined the offer twice as I'm already in a clan

Shocky, I am NTL 150k, so 600k will be fine.

I know a lot of people have issues with NTL, but personally, I quite like them and have never had any problems.
It can take ages to get through to their helpdesk sometimes, but when I do they're always very helpful, and resolve any problems quickly.
Our digital cable, phone and broadband was installed quickly and with minimum fuss, and on the few occasions we've needed an engineer out, they've been punctual and very quick to resolve the problem.
There were a few service issues just after my broadband was installed, but it's generally very reliable, and I haven't had any down-time for almost a year now.
My only complaint, really, is the 1GB cap they've put on broadband usage - it seems to defeat the whole object. But to be honest, it hasn't really affected me. Yet.
