Telewest Inheriting ntl’s Bad Customer Service - Bodged TVDrive
I was fuming this afternoon when I got home. My plasma TV had a message on it saying that my Telewest TV Drive was updating, and that I wasn’t to switch off my set-top box while the update was going through. Telewest obviously hadn’t thought through the fact that remotely turning on the TVDrive set-top [...]

Three lucky readers of CustomPC will get their PCs tweaked and overclocked by their resident overclocking aficionados, Gareth Ogden and James Gorbold. In addition, any upgrades will be thrown in for free so expect some goodies if you’re the lucky winner.

BSkyB Buys 17.9% Of ITV for £940m
Seems like iTV was talking to BSkyB as well as ntl, as BSkyB yesterday bought 17.9% of ITV for £940m. I think they’ve overpaid as ITV has been in the doldrums recently and I think things are only going to get worse, but BSkyB said that they believed that ITV had ’substantial potential for long-term’ [...]

ntl:Telewest To Merge With ITV?
I read an interesting report today that claimed that ntl:Telewest are considering a merger with ITV to try and combat its weakness in content, which has always been a major weakness of UK cable, to strengthen its defence against Sky who are now threatening its broadband business.

I’ve recently left ntl:Telewest and sometime soon I’m going to lose my free Digital TV service, so I had a quick look at the latest offers from ntl:Telewest and Sky to see who was offering the best deal.
I was on the verge of plumping for ntl:Telewest because it was cheaper, even though Sky has a [...]
Less Than 20% Of Digg’s Users Are Active
I was having a quick look around the new Version 3 of Digg which launched earlier today and I noticed something in my profile which I hadn’t spotted before, my rank. Given that Digg now has in excess of a million users I was shocked to see that I was ranked around 6,500, especially [...]

Guide To Optimizing WordPress Servers
After moving hosts for some reason my WP-Cache2 plugin stopped caching pages and I couldn’t work out why, so I’ve spent the last couple of hours looking for alternatives as I wanted to make sure I don’t get into trouble again with my new host, even though I have a VPS now rather than a [...]
