Re: NTL versus BT
Ive had BT phone line + pipex adsl broadband (576k) that ran fine... its a bit slower than my NTL 600K connection
But i think that the reason for that is because BT uses Normal line for phone lines, where as NTL use it for their phone lines but the broadband goes through the cable box and doesnt toutch the phone line at all... just goes underground and you notice the differance because it travels faster through cable than normal phone lines.

Re: NTL versus BT
Mez - I've heard that tiscali is quite good too - broadband from £16.99 I think. Isn't tiscali part of BT though?

Re: NTL versus BT
I've just changed ISP to BT (still dial up) cos my 1st BT phone bill came in and it wasn't too pretty! Think I probably will go with NTL when I get my broadband connected though. I really don't use the computer enough to justify £28 a month - but thanks for the advice everyone!

Re: NTL versus BT
I helped many people get broadband with NTL and ASDL using a BT line. The most reliable with out a doubt is NTL, although they do have their problems. NTL Currently have a 150k which they are replacing with a 300K for the same price £17.99. However BT are doing a 1mb for £28.99 @ the moment. With NTL broadband you do not need to dial you're just online when you turn on your computer which is nice and easy and no messing. BT phone lines i find are unreliable due mainly to interferance.
