NTL(irish) cable problems...any1?

R_Tribesman

hey lads ... havent surfed this forum in a while , the reason im here now is because lately ntl cable has started sucking lang0r.
Firstly i get disconnected from irc every 5 minutes [connection reset by peer]

then i start getting disconnected from msn every so often!!
so im getting fairly forked off about this and then it gets worse when gamespy starts it .... and counter strike starts giving me 30 second connection interuptions.....

ANYWAY i get the phone "as you do" and ring ntl , i press 1 i press 3 then i press 3 again (or whatever it was)

so im hold and im holding and im listening to there ghey classical music and im playin cs while im holding (i was holding that long),
and i got no god damn support at all in the end after waiting for ages i ended up hanging up

i was just saying to jimmad im gonna ring them again and kill whoever answers (i said it more graphicly than that)...if i go and i get an answer they will say "are u sure the cable is in the back of the modem ..... are u sure your counter strike game cd isnt scraped" so can somebody tell me what i should ask them , loike ask for a line test or something like that because i have no clue

thanks for reading my huge story about the gheyness of ntl and please reply to help me out

i dont have cable but dardoz does and he errr wasnt impressed with em. I think he got it fixed now tho. Maybe you have the problem he has/had. He'd get ****e pings, packet loss and a lot of timeouts during the day. (incl evening). he could only coe online late at night.

The ntl staff aint very helpful. took me a year to get the name on the bill changed.

Its taken em an age to install digital tv ( monday woohooo) between the 'im sorry the signal aint strong enough. we'll be back in a week' and the 'ur area is not avail for digital yet.

NTL need to sort it out imo.

(soz i couldnt help )

Never had a single problem with Cable.

I Had Really Bad Problems with NTL. Wanted to Get Cable Modem in, and Was Told "Yes your area is Set up for Cable, it will be a month before we can get out to you".

So a Month goes by and the Guys Come out and try to set it up, but it turns out that the Network in My area does not have a Return Path (2 Way Network). So they said they would send out a maintenance crew out and set me up within 3 week ( FFS! ).

I Went mad and said that that was Bull and demanded they get it sorted now. So after numerous hours listening to really bad hold music, I Found out that it would not be possible to get cable in my Area. What sort of Gobshítes are they?
