Re: Virginercation: Coming sooner than we think?
 

ntl website seems to be updated!

damn i thought the offers would be a bit more better [i actually dont really see much of a change]. If they had TU24 incl in the 3 for £30 price with some international destinations for free, then I think it would be a fair price, since even though it would be slightly more expensive than sky, ur bband would be unlimited...

Re: Virginercation: Coming sooner than we think?
 

But Sky's deal does not include the line rental that you still need to pay BT for. Therefore the Sky deal is 3 for £37 whereas the equivalent Virgin deal would be 3 for £35.50.

Re: Virginercation: Coming sooner than we think?
 

Actually, Sky is

£15 for 2 mixes
£5 for 8mb 40GB limit [suffices me]
£5 for TU24 w/ international calls
£11 BT line. [Sky have their own phoneline coming with £9 line rental i read somewhere]

total:

£36 [£34 with Sky phoneline...:(]

damn i really thought ntl mite compete better:shocked: What sky is advertising is 6 mixes, weekend calls like ntl, and 2mb bband i think for £26...

Re: Virginercation: Coming sooner than we think?
 

This seems like quite a good package - a lot better than the £26 package they are advertising!

Plus £11 for BT line rental = £37

Re: Virginercation: Coming sooner than we think?
 

yes, true, just saying what sky are advertising!

I think Sky should have a headline price of £15, with free w/e calls and free 2mb bband! Now that would make ntl look silly lol...

Re: Virginercation: Coming sooner than we think?
 

People Should stop comparing Apples and Pears

Telewest

3 for £30 - Television L , BB M and Talk Weekends + 5.50 for Evening & Weekends

Sky

Sky SSS £26 + £11 Line Rental £37.00

Television (All 6 Mixes!) = TW Equivalent XL ( and then you missing some!)
Broadband (8MB) = based on where you are in location to the exchange the comparable is at least 4MB L
Telephone Evening and Weekends

the extra 1.50 gets you alot more and this is why VM needs to and will price match!

Re: Virginercation: Coming sooner than we think?
 

I agree with what murdoch said other then the broadband which ntl is superior at.

Re: Virginercation: Coming sooner than we think?
 

If ntl offered something like below, then they could lower their headline price right? I mean ignoring freeview channels, the Sky 2 mixes include Star Plus, Star News, Star One, Star Gold, which is now going to cost £10 a month on ntl![for Star Plus alone]... I mean I would take the ntl Select Tv pack, but I think to add any channels u must have the base tv pack! So there are channels we dont want, but we must pay for to obtain any extra channels!
