    as we all know ntl are plaining to release digital tv in afew month,

    but ive heard rumors about them bringing broadband through the set top box it some way and that this will happen from day one,

    this kinda fits in with what ntl told me about some area getting broadband when digital tv comes out.

    has anybody got anymore info on this, like maybe how exactly do they plain to do this if they dont upgrade to two way, and how far reachign will it be, ie just the south side of dublin, all dublin are all ntl areas?

    NTL can barely get existing TV signals down their 30 year old cable, let alone broadband.

    NTL are rolling out 'limited digital services' i.e. TV on the existing cable which meets the terms of their licence. The ODTR couldn't give two figs what NTL do as they're too busy drafting self congratulary press releases.
