Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk
 

for the record, I just rang te retentions department and said I was off to Talk Talk - the guy said "you know we can beat their offer?", so after no effort whatsoever I was offered Talk U/L 24 and 2Mb BB for £23. I suggested he could do better than that, and he knocked it down to £17.75 a month - result!

Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk
 

Well, limited success. I called the number mentioned earlier and ended up with a woman from "customer relations".

Anyway, despite checking and admitting that I could get a 4mb BB service with Talk Talk, she wasn't budging on giving me a similar deal. But she did give me my Base pack for half price and BB for half price for 6 months.

Better than a poke in the eye I suppose, maybe I'm just unlucky living in an ex-cwc area and got put through to a different call centre.

Well I save £23/month for 6 months I suppose is better than nothing.

Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk
 

Yes it does seem to depend where you are, I just phoned the number as well and ended up with customer relations. Manager 1/2 price BB and 1/2 price family for 6 months, better than a poke in the eye I guess. Suppose I'll be back on the phone in November.

I was put through to customer relations and I got the same deal I am also ex C&W

Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk
 

Just got TU24 and 4 mb Broadband GUARANTEED according to retentions, Also just found out 4MB is not available at this moment in time, They LIED to keep me. Spoke to csc again and they advised check on tuesday, if not inceased to 4 mb call retentions back.

Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk
 

The 2Mb is becoming 4Mb soon. You'll be on 2Mb for a bit, then upgraded. See this website home page for details.

So they didn't lie to you. Customer services aren't in Yorkshire, so they are generally pretty honest.

Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk
 

They did lie, 4mb guaranteed is what he offered me and he told me he had upgraded me at that point. Not 4 mb sometime in the future. Can they guarantee any speed ?? i am not sure but i doubt it,

Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk
 

Well I'm still on 2mb paying £24.99 a month, and I am not ringing threatening to cancel because I have no intention of cancelling. My ntl broadband is completely reliable and completely superb, I don't mind paying full price for it, in fact I'd rather do so rather than encourage corner cutting.

I also have phone and DTV. I would have no real need of TU24 to be honest, but I wouldn't consider cancelling any of my three services, so I won't lie by ringing them and saying I would.

Stupid? Maybe! But unlike many I understand the 'rules' of business. In the long term you get what you pay for. One of the reasons I'd not even consider the Talk Talk deal is that I prefer my supplier to be making some sort of profit out of my business. Long term, you don't get something for nothing.

I'm not advocating paying more than you need to, just saying that nothing in life is truly free.

Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk
 

Good for you. I'm very pleased you're giving charitable contributions to this worthy cause.

I'll go Tesco tomorrow and offer £5 for a loaf of bread, just to be sure that they'll still offer high quality, reliable bread in future.

Think about it - would NTL give you money if they thought you needed it?
