NTL turns back on Linux users

It's the same everywhere.

I wouldn't mind so much the poor service that I seem to have universally recieved (IE, every time I've ever phoned up customer support I have had a really bad time of it - they surely can't be this thick in real life???) doesn't justify the costs, also with dialup the "two hour cuttoff" would be entirely unnecesary if they bothered to invest in enough equipment in the first place. I wouldn't mind paying £20 a month for dialup provided that the service that went with that was damned good. But no one seems to recognise this need for a good service anywhere in this country, everything is "on the cheep"...

I'm in the US, so know only what I've been able to read.  If this "dialer" is a simple front-end to their access number database, I wonder if someone will break the database and post the numbers on a public web site (what NTL should have done in the first place)?

Alienating non-Windoze/Mac users won't kill their business, but I do hope it buys them some really bad publicity. ;-)
