Sounds serious seeing as they have told the customers to find a new telco.

ooh good guess. Maybe thats it? Maybe by dialling 999 on NTL is taking them to
a different 999 region call centre and that call centre does not have the
facility to deal with Dublin area.

Perhaps they disconnected all customers prone to high blood pressure,
after scares about the potentially fatal consequences of being stuck
in a 2 hour queue to customer services and being told every 5 minutes
how important their call was to NTL.

A link from that forum to the RTE teletext pages quotes

"ComReg said it understood NTL is
concerned that the equipment in
customers' homes may, in certain
circumstances, constitute a potential
safety hazard through overheating."
