Default NTL Broadband - anyone got it?

Got an offer for 1meg broadband @ £9.99 per month. Sounds good to me as im still on dial up.
Question is - is it going to be reliable?
Looks like it connects to the set top box, and thats as reliable as a 500hp cossie

The broadband is ok but the customer service is shocking, i was ment to have 2 meg fitted should of been on 2 hours until turned on, took the 9 days worse thing is iv been a customer for 3 years.
Indian call centre and tech support, broadband is good, rest of it shit
