      My NTL phone line hasn't worked for months.

      I can't be bothered with the hassle of trying to get it fixed.

        Now I come to think of it, insurance companies have gone up in my estimation:

        Lower-order phyla:

        ^
        ¦
        +- mushrooms
        ¦
        +- estate agents
        ¦
        +- slime moulds
        ¦
        +- nappy rash
        ¦
        +- insurance companies
        ¦
        +- lawyers

        ¦
        +- IT recruitment agents
        ¦
        +- slurry
        ¦
        +- politicians


        (I was going to include knob cheese but a) I don't want a ban and b) I'm not drunk enough so I won't.)
        Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

          NTL? You mean VirginMedia?

                  Yes, to the left and by about 12º at the moment.

                  Hic.

                    I disagree.

                    Back in 2004 I could have wept over NTL's behaviour when I was a business customer.

                    I find VirginMedia do not reach NTL's standard - they are worse in EVERY respect.

                    I am hoping for a contract in another part of the country so I can leave this VirginMedia "up to 56K" "broadband" behind.

                      I was with NTL before they 'Virginised' and am thinking of going to BT.

                      I hate them all though.
