Re: Price increase
 

IMHO if ntl want to raise more revenue they should be looking elsewhere rather than increasing prices on their internet services - DTV certainly bears strong attention, don't think it makes its' fair share of the dollars.

I've got to say I think that's pretty poor value for money - now more expensive than 10mbit/1mbit that Jerrek has in Canada.

Welcome to ripoff Britain I guess.

Re: Price increase
 

As Hell's Child says it is very true I heard abt this back in Jan before it was confirmed 1M ADSL looks good ;)

Re: Price increase
 

ITs funny though, pretty much all the DSL providers have dropped over the last two years or so.
When I got on the 1mb 2 years ago It was the best value out there, only a few quid more expensive than my friends 512K ADSL.
Now my friend could almost rent two ADSLs for the same price im paying.

NTL really are financially retarded arnt they?

Re: Price increase
 

do you realise how many NTL customers have 1mb?

a very small minority

so if anything, they should be dropping the price or offering promotions in order to get people to move up to 1mb.

Re: Price increase
 

But do they want that many on 1 Mb?

Of course they do want customers on 1 Mb for the revenue it brings them, but they don't want them to use the connection for more than a little browsing and email checking.

Re: Price increase
 

mmmmmm if ntl are putting the phone prices up that is stupidity. The very least they can do is drop the connection charge and replace it with a minimum charge.

Still for phone im kind of stuck in a corner as I have to have an ntl phone line, and i aint paying twice and definately aint going back to Sky!

Re: Price increase
 

Well I am out of contract being a customer for almost 3 yesr with BB and longer with phone. I will be looking at alternatives I will drop down to 600K and if the upload is c**p I will be looking at changing over as I can get 512K but not 1 mb. With this increas BTs 1mb would work out cheaper than NTLs. to NTL about this Idea you will end up with no customers left stop giving those big bonuses and large pay to top managers and look to you customers for once.. before its too late.. :td:

Re: Price increase
 

You have a good point if there was an upload comparable to ADSL think people would be happy.

Re: Price increase
 

Quite right. Was incensed when they announced some of the increases. Also in the North we have started charging £10 for install again... grrrrr :td: :mad:

Re: Price increase
 

I feel like I have Been welcomed too many times to that place Just. :erm:

Re: Price increase
 

GOOD POINT!

we now have a choice of an over priced 1mb version! or we can drop down to 600k but will have half the upload speed of ADSL!

Re: Price increase
 

I have to be honest think that is the achelles heal in NTL the upload, needs improvement to match BT

Re: Price increase
 

for the same price as the NTL 1mb service you can get 2mb from Bulldog.
