Oh look, problems with ntl. Quel Surprise.

I think the idiot pills are kicking in big time.

I have been trying to contact ntl to arrange either a cancellation of service, or a transfer to the new address. This is easier said than done. I have aged a number of years whilst waiting while their automated phone system plays the most appalling drivel at me, pausing now and again to apologise for the delay. After a while, a further automated voice pops up posing a number of alternative actions, one of which involves phoning their direct line, which is suspiciously similar1 to that I have been dialling.

The only reason I'm trying it is because I would quite like to keep access to cable TV, and have a broadband internet connection.

The wish to maintain any kind of business relationship with ntl is slowly fading with each attempt to contact them, however, and I may well revisit my entertainment requirements accordingly.

Life is too short.
