well this is true, i think xntl use euro docsis which has got a high bandwidth

but ti be nice to see it all aligned

Except that that statement does not fit with the common message here and in other forums and surveys

NTL = NTL Hell and the worst customer focused organisation out there.

TW relatively inert in its customers opinions

I had both and can honestly say less channels onTW with its customer focus beat NTL hands down!

Docsis 2.0, I think.

They are upgrading to 3.0 this year, which will bring the costs down, and effectively use less bandwidth than before.

All Around The World are the people responsible for the Clubland music releases. Clubland TV has been testing off the Sky EPG for a few days now. I know it simply says 'cable', and not neccesarily Virgin, and there are a few smaller cable operators here and there, but it might be something for those on Virgin to keep on eye on.
