This extends the time needed for migration, and also increases the possibility of errors.

If no changes are made to a ex-tw bill, then from what I've seen they hardly go wrong. Even when it does it is usually down to human error rather than system error

Ex-ntl on the other hand used to be both, and sometimes all system errors

Anyone who lives in places like Manchester, Leeds etc and had cable modem broadband from ntl will tell you that

Possibly, or they could end up with two different sets of data, and no way of checking which is valid.

Thanks for all the replies guys
'cept you've not really helped me have you

So my team is going to be promoted back to the top flight after 23 years
and I'll have no footage of the event - I may even be on it myself as I launch myself onto the pitch at the final whistle

let's hope someone captures it and puts up a torrent somewhere.
