NTL availability

reddevil87 · 10-05-2005, 18:43

Hi people, I have a question. I live in an estate of around 500 homes, yet NTL have not yet cabled it yet. However a street 2mins walk away has ntl cabled. I was wondering if there was any particular website that shows ntl's planned rollouts for this area, or If anyone knows how to find out if I ever will get ntl. I live in Lisburn in N.Ireland, which has 90% ntl coverage, but my street is in the other 10%.

At present I can only get ADSL Internet at maximum speed of 1Mb, and I would love 3Mb. Please, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Didn't NTL just sell the Ireland arm of their company?

Probably still not much hope of a roll out though lol Do they have a current list of roll out areas or is everything on hold pending financies?

no idea to be honest

I know the london broadband upgrades have had a lot of investment recently, so i would guess that they aren't going to have money to spend on other rollouts at the moment.

Is there a number he can call for more information? I can't see that information being available via CS but maybe someone in another department might have more details of areas being financed for upgrades and installs

Thanks for the replies guys.

I phoned CS and they could tell me nothing...So I guess I'll just have to wait and see...
