caddymanJust bloody typical, ain't it?
There I was, looking forward at long last to getting broadband, and...
First of all the number on the flyer sent me to the Teeside office. They gave me a new number, and after a quick redial a very polite gentleman took my details and told me that flier notwithstanding, ntl broadband is not available in my area. In fact it's only available in 30% of ntl's London catchment area. I, of course, live in the other 70%. Bugger. So ntl are rubbish. No change there then.
I asked when it is likely to become available, and he said this "time next year - but the engineers always tell us that."
So, for the foreseeable future, it's 56k all the way.
Again.

Clot. ;-)
I could get a BT line, but I don't want to pay to install a new line and all when I don't know how long I'm going to be in this house. Mt landlady isn't getting any younger at a sprightly 85....
