No I hadn't checked the 128 kbps broadband service recently. I have now.
Unfortunately at present I can't afford the service. However, thank you for

I once contacted ntlworld's technical support. Three minutes were spent by a
member of staff trying to confirm my details after which time I was told
that support wasn't given for my query.
