Re: More Sky+ Grumbles

We use NTL for phone and broadband only and, yes, the service on
these is fine as long as its working; cust service is a nightmare
when it breaks.  We didn't take up the TV for the kinds of reasons
you mentioned but I was getting so fed up with SKY's quality that I
was starting to have second thoughts.  I looked at the options the
other night and they looks worse and moreexpensive anyway so guess
I'll continue to give it a miss.

go back (do I sound bitter and twisted? ;) )
