Why cant NTL just arrange for customers taking 2MB+ services to recieve an SACM if they cannot provide a Samsung ? All it takes is a splitter which can be installed post-isolator, and a bit of re-registration.

Thats a sore point with me ! Why on earth do they have to have different billing just for the SACM? The price is no different, so why can't they just bill it the same? Why do they insist on DD for broadband via SACM and not for via STB?

And AFAIK I'm being billed just the same as if I were getting BB through an STB. <Checks bill> Yup, not being charged for the SACM.

i hate to burst your bubble but sacm is only available by direct debit hence the different accounts, and it still :confused: me

I fail to see why they have to charge 2 different ways for what is effectively the same service.

Ah! I was on DD anyway, so no change for me.
