The Carlyle Group don`t strike me as a particularly lovely bunch of people.
Oh Telewest I miss you so much.... :(:(:(
(Got me 20Mb though at least yay!)
I`m with Virgin Media at the moment, but i`m moving house in a month`s time so could easily switch to Sky.
Does anybody have any advice? Are there any good deals at the moment with Sky (that don`t end before the start of August)? Is this sale of Virgin Media likely to be bad or good news from a consumer point of view?
I`ve only ever been with NTL/Virgin, but i do miss the Simpons and Sky+ sounds pretty sweet.

I think this is the same group, that`s bidding for Virginmedia.
It looks like they`re in to everything such as, Aerospace & Defense, Automotive, Consumer & Retail, Energy & Power, Healthcare, Real Estate, Technology & Business Services, Telecommunications & Media, and Transportation.

No s***, according to Wikipedia,
Quote:
The Saudi Arabian relatives of Osama bin Laden were also investors in Carlyle until October 2001 when the family sold its $2.02 million investment back to the firm in light of the public controversy surrounding bin Laden's family after the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001.

Wish full thinking like but lets hope they get rid of the Indian Call centres
When it was Telewest (and sometimes still) the call centre staff were from Sheffield - I even got through to people I used to know!
*Understanding* the Indian tech support is not a problem very often, but the lines are often very very quiet, they don`t have experience of the cable service themselves unlike the UK techs, they stick too rigidly to their scripts, and they don`t understand *my* accent all the time (Yorkshire but not particularly broad).
