Leader: NTL:Telewest - can the brand be rescued?
Leader Yesterday was the first birthday of NTL:Telewest. As well as talking big about taking the fight to BT and announcing its merged product set, NTL:Telewest Business MD Stephen Beynon talked a little about Virgin Media, the new name for the combine... [07 Mar 2007]
The Weekly Round-Up: 02.03.07
Round-Up Meanwhile across town, Virgin became part of cable TV uber-chimera NTL:Telewest to offer a wide range of services from mobile phones to internet, via pay-TV (transatlantic flights, cola flavoured drinks and trains - though the less said about the... [02 Mar 2007]
Editor's Blog: All communications in one place
Comment Now I'm on that company's radar as a customer because I've been a long-time user of Telewest services. Virgin Media is basically the combination of four ventures - NTL, Telewest, Virgin Mobile and VirginNet - and the launch literature talks a lot... [09 Feb 2007]
The Weekly Round-Up: 12.05.06
Round-Up Controversially, in some people's minds, many of the layoffs are on the Telewest side of the business, including jobs in customer services. This is, of course, all the more perplexing given the fact Telewest has been widely held up as a company... [12 May 2006]
Leader: Bland brands in the UK?
Leader The deal that has seen Virgin Mobile combine with the TV, phone and broadband businesses of NTL:Telewest, itself a recently merged entity, was notable for many things but we would put one thing at the top of the list. [05 Apr 2006]
Leader: Why we still applaud the idea of 'Get Safe Online'
Leader We appreciate it is early days and the initiative has only launched today with a selection of founding sponsors - who were able to stump up considerable cash - but even in terms of establishing what could be achieved and what goals might be set... [27 Oct 2005]
Leader: Murdoch as Mr Broadband?
Leader Cablecos NTL and Telewest recently announced their long-expected marriage but even now there is speculation someone else might come in, making them part of an even larger group. BSkyB probably couldn't have chosen a better ISP to buy than Easynet. [21 Oct 2005]
Leader: Cable marriage - look on the bright side
Leader It has been on the cards for years, rather than months or weeks, though perhaps it takes the official merger announcement and de rigeur conference call to focus minds on what the marriage of NTL and Telewest will deliver. [03 Oct 2005]
Leader: Telewest rolls out suburban security
Leader Having eventually succumbed to the notion that ISPs must provide protection to their customers from the nasties that lurk online, we now enter an age of waiting for customers to wise up and take advantage of the services they are being offered by... [22 Aug 2005]
Leader: Should we turn our security ire on suburbia?
Leader That was Telewest but Wanadoo users also appear to be accounting for an unreasonable amount of email, according to Senderbase stats. Research appearing on silicon.com today suggests Europe is home to more zombie networks of compromised PCs than... [31 May 2005]
The Weekly Round-Up: 13.05.05
Round-Up And Matt Peachey from IronPort, whose Senderbase.org service revealed the extent of Telewest's spam problem, is inclined to agree. Telewest was singled out for such treatment because of the sheer number of PCs connected to its broadband services... [13 May 2005]
Leader: Telewest, how did it come to this?
Leader Neither side involved in the blacklisting of almost one million Telewest users has covered itself in glory. By blocking all Telewest IP addresses the anti-spam group has certainly blocked the guilty parties. [10 May 2005]
Leader: UK broadband - alive and kicking
Leader It was also a response, in a way, to Telewest and NTL announcing more broadband per monthly subscription (for example, a 1Mbps Telewest connection is going up to 1.5Mbps). Local loop unbundling. LLU. Say it any way you want but we haven't heard it... [27 Apr 2004]
Tony Hallett’s After These Messages: When is broadband not broadband?
Comment This week saw Telewest Broadband announce a 256Kbps internet service. It isn't likely that Telewest and Tiscali will be hauled over the coals by Ofcom. But putting ourselves in the providers' shoes for a minute, whether they use cable (like NTL or... [02 Mar 2004]
Fat cat Knapp: It's time to wake up
Comment He managed that by filing for bankruptcy and then hammering out a deal with bondholders that should ensure NTL is around long enough at least to merge with its rival, Telewest. Over the past few years we have regularly written two types of very... [21 Oct 2002]
