BB Streaming on NTL Broadband Plus
The BB live streaming was meant to start on NTL Broadband Plus today but is still not available. It has been advertised as 'starts Tuesday' for the last couple of days and encouraging people to sign up. Does anyone know what's going on?
NTL really does take the michael when it comes to BB fans. First of all, it refuses to offer BB interactive via the red button on E4 to its cable customers, and now, isn't even capable of providing a streaming service on time via its broadband premium content package that it's been promising for days.

NTL always promise so much but provide very little.
Two choices: 1) Get used to it 2) Leave TBH I'd leave them...

I called them a couple of hours ago and the guy told me that it was in the testing area, to make sure their were no problems/glitches. He went on to say if the site says it will start today, then to keep checking as it will be.
I also asked him about capping. He also said not to worry about it. If you go over the limit watching their streaming, he said they would probably take this into account. He said they also won't bother if you only go over the limit now and again at other times. He said the only people they would email to give a warning, is the people who regually go over their daily limit. It comes own to us checking the streaming page every now and then to see if it has started. If it does can you please post in here about it, so everyone on NTL knows.

Yup, I'm disgusted with this, glad it's on a trial.. the other video content is mostly laughable, with World Cup highlights in a foreign language.. so no BB as promised has got me seriously annoyed too..
Still nothing, just a Flash movie of "coming soon" and a click that goes nowhere. |

Ahh so now we know the real reason why NTl won't provide BB live via red button, they are trying to get us on Broad Band.
Drug dealers, no more no less, just as scummy. |
