NTL BB is available around me (Dub 8 area)but not available to me and this is the case in many areas. AFAIK it relates to the need to replace and upgrade old cables. The older systems apparently were geared to one way transmission while bb obviously requires two way. NTL have never told anyone at any stage when bb is likely to be available in an area and the csrs are definitely the last to know so dont believe a word that any NTL people tell you.
