Glasgow is an 'original' ntl area I believe (as opposed to an 'ex Cable and Wireless' area) which would put you on the Langley headend.
Booooo!!!
So I guess, no Red Button For me!!!!
Ah well, some things never change eh!!

heh i must say im on the old C&W area of leeds and the CR3 is pants compared to the old style.......... fair enough i get interactive but its like having a 33.3 modem attached to it......... EVERYTHING is slow from the tv info to the now and next bar wish theyd release somthing better for everyone at the same time but hey where talking about NTL
Quickest way to tell, so I'm told, is to look at your channel numbers... Langley (orig ntl) BBC1 is ch 101, Bromley (orig C&W) is just 1.
:wavey:
Just to get a taste of who's on what really.
Langley - Channels start from 101
Bromley - Channels start from 1
Vote is open from 16/07 for 14 days
Great idea, but perhaps an admin should merge this thread with the other one?
I'm on Langley.
Any mods want to do the deed ?

I am on the Bromley system. HOWEVER... I must (yet again) point out that there is a lot of the Bromley system customers without CR3 / Interactive and BB. Mainly ex-CWC Videotron, Londaon Areas.

Oh boy....
Well, it depends who you beleive. To some, it's a consipiracy, and there's no reason you can't have it, except for the fact that NTL don't want to give it to you.
In reality though, it's because the network is very poor in these areas, meaning many people do not have a return path (their boxes cannot communicate back to NTL), which is necessary for CR3 and interactive. Although some people in some areas do have one, and so can get broadband (but only for the last few days!), NTL cannot upgrade people to CR3 until everybody in a particular franchise has a decent return path. These upgrades are expensive, and NTL haven't been/are not willing to spend the money required.

So does that mean i won't be able to get broadband from NTL, as i've been thinking about getting it recently?

I suggest you direct this question to the London thread in the Broadband forum. They'll have a lot more idea.

I suggest that you direct this question to ntl: sales team and let us know what answer you were given! You should post your answer on the London Broadband Thread, but given that the availability of BB and CR3 are linked, its much of a sameness where you post!
Good Luck!

ntl is The Company Formerly Known As CableTel. CableTel bought a company called ntl and then used that name to rebrand itself.
