NTL Freedom Telephone

Do I need a BT Line to have this service?

I.e. Do I need to pay BT on a monthly basis as well as NTL?

lol...

yes you do at the moment but when ntl launches its LLU product that won't be the case AFAIK :)

I hadn't quite understood whether I needed to pay NTL and BT. Apologies for wasting your time.

Not a waste of time really-just couldn't remember!

Just noticed this.....:Yikes:

5GB monthly download allowance

You may use your Broadband connection freely up to this usage allowance. We will be monitoring usage. If you reach your monthly allowance we will notify you by email and give you the option to upgrade to a more suitable Broadband service.

I thought the DSL package was being sold as uncapped? :confused:

[Edit-Ithink they may have changed the package, as before (if I remember correctly) it was a full 512k service for £25.00 or thereabouts, now it's a £17.99 512k service with a 5 gig 'limit' a la Wanadoo/BT Yahoo broadband I guess?

They have made the packages the same as Virgin.net:

They now have two plans (and even refer to the new plan as Plan Two - probably a cut'n'paste):

Only NTL charge an exta £5 for Plan One (£29.99 instead of £24.99) but give you £15 of telephone calls "free":
