NTL and Telewest Confirm Intention To Merge

[david.dakota]

Several sites on TV News are reporting NTL's confirmation this morning to purchase Telwest, forming the UK's second largest telecoms provider - and thankfully a true competitor to BSkyB's monopoly in the Pay TV market.

 

The news of a merger is hardly a surprise, since for some years it has been the logical step for the two cable companies.

Maybe now NTL will get rid of there stupid broadband caps... as Telewest dont have caps on there broadband service

Oh god no if this brings the quality of Telewest down, I will not be a happy bunny at all.

This is exactly the same thing I thought when I opened this thread. Please don't let this merger ruin Telewest.

Or maybe Telewest will put caps on...

 

Doesn't really effect me, either way, as I can't get cable.

Yeah I rekon every Telewest customer in the know is afraid that this merger will affect the outstanding service in which we've all become used to over the years.

 

Don't screw us over now Telewest after all your loyalty!

I want my 10Mbit :P

[kenners]

Ive found NTL's service great, ive never tried Telewest, but i do hope this doesnt push back the 10Mbit upgrade

There was an article about this in todays inderpendant.

Ack; we better keep our UK based Customer Service; I don't want to be talking to some guy in India who knows Sweet FA.

 

If this affects Telewest's Quality, I may have to swap ISP's. I love Telewest, but NTL's shittiness could destroy it.

Apparently they will operate seperately still. I've had a superb and stable service so far and NTL better not fuck it up..
