NTL turns back on Linux users

Heh. Got an NTL advert leaflet dropped through my letterbox today, offering me broadband at half the speed I get now and nearly the same price.

Wan#ers!

Since I use Linux (and other non-Windows systems) I'd have to be nuts to even consider them after this, even if their broadband does work with Linux. One week's notice that your service is being terminated is hardly sufficient.

Boycott NTL.   :-P  :-P  :-P

It's the same everywhere. Tiscali do it with their broadband service. Of course, all this does is make the connection and log you in, plus forcing the Tiscali page to come up on every connection.

You are quite free to connect without the dialler too, but they refuse to offer "support" in any such cases. I guess the same goes for NTL, but they don't want to advertise it that way.
