In response to your post about broadband availability in the new Wardon Villages area of Worcester:

I live there, have always wanted broadband, but have always been told I couldn't get it.
Recently I experienced problems with my phone line. The engineer did a few things which i won't bore you with, and at the end, he measured the line distance from the exchange. It measured 4.35km. After several phone calls to BT, they still insist that I can't get broadband, despite the length of the line, without offering a reason.

Referring to NTL, I would support any organisation that brought broadband to the area, providing the fees were reasonably comparable to current options (i.e. not nearly double for a similar product. That would also include changing from SKY for my TV provision if necessary.
