www.ntlpilot.co.uk

I'm not in Ashford, but I would be highly suspicious.

That site looks very unprofessional.

233 · 24 Jan 2007 at 20:06

lol it is ntl we're talking about here,

it is genuine for those who are interested

Limehouse · 24 Jan 2007 at 20:19

And why precisely wouldn't NTL pilot this on their own site?

Busted.

busted in what sense?

as far as i'm concerned its a legitimate offer being done through virgin media
(soz ntl: telewest) for 200 residents in ashford

so kindly **** off

There's no way NTL would use a website like that. Not a chance in hell.

Hmmmm actually the more I look at it the less wrong it looks :\

233 · 24 Jan 2007 at 20:31

well as a former ntl employee i can beleive it, you'd be surprised,

ghgh · 24 Jan 2007 at 20:32

Why is the website so poorly designed...like the above poster theres no way it would be that bad if it was a legitate offer...surely?! it would at least be a half decent site. How would a site like that even pursuade people to sign upto this offer?

Psypher5 · 24 Jan 2007 at 20:33

do a whois?

ghgh · 24 Jan 2007 at 20:39

I might start to believe it now...says its registered to Neil Illingworth and googling his name brings up 'Neil Illingworth is the NTL Project Manager for the Milton Keynes Trial' so maybe he's the project manager for this trial now? but that website is diabolical for a proper company.

That's not NTL my friend. Surely if it was an NTL project, it would be registered under NTL, and surely they would use a subdomain rather than purchase a new one?

233 · 24 Jan 2007 at 20:41

lol tbh thats actually prety decent,

you should see the sign up i did for my hdtv box trials and for my 20 meg bb

the 20 meg bb was a similar with 2 lines of text and a e-mail address.

the hdtv didnt even get a webpage,

It's a real site by the looks of it, it points to an NTL webserver.

yep you try and help people out giving them the chance of sommat for nothing and thats all the gratitude you get

Limehouse · 24 Jan 2007 at 20:45

www.schlund.info the registrant is infact German, making me think this is even more suspicious...

I like to use it when I can

uvarvu · 24 Jan 2007 at 20:58

This is TRUE.

NTL are trialling 50mb services in Kent. 20mb has also been trialled elsewhere, I was on that service for a few weeks. I was blown away by the speed!

http://192.168.100.1/ to check your CM class of service.

AssaTM · 24 Jan 2007 at 22:36

So why is it only in that small area?
