C&W digital in west london (Greenford, ex-Videotron)
Thomas Payne
(screaming.net have at last got a news server!) so please don't flame
me! Does anyone know when C&W will launch their digital service in
west-london, more specificaly Greenford/Ealing, an ex-Videotron area?
October 1999 came and went (their website still says that!) and no
digital. Their phone staff don't seem to know what's going on with
analogue, let alone digital! Also, do you think the magic words "Sky
Digital", "ONDigital" or "BT" would speed them up a bit? Thanks. Oh and
if you want to mail me you have to take the X out of my address.

on Friday I rang up to find out if they were doing a free internet deal like
everyone else and at the same time just inquired about the future of digital
cable. I was then told it was up and running and that they are not
advertising the service yet so they don't get innundtated!!!! Even worse
they then put me onto customer services who offered me free installation
because I was an existing customer. Up shot is I get digital cable next
week! So it might be worth a call.

Great! Thanks for that update. Just a side note- the analogue service
ahs been terrible lately - it was down for nearly 24 hours last week!

Gave C&W a call, and I must say their customer service has improved
dramtically! No queue, and I actually spoke to someone who knew what
they were doing! Anyway, I have been told that the provisional
availibility date is 22nd May, and they put me on a mailing list so I
will be kept updated. Lets hope C&W can keep this standard up! (and
stick to that date)
