Not quite sure what you are trying to say SMHarman....

Re: Pricing change for NTL telephony - rumour
 

Superneds post seems to contain fact that looks similar to the rumour of the OP.

Superneds post says rounding will occur on Freedom calls. Calls on the cable network phones will remain unchanged.

IMHO it would be a very backward move to move to per minute billing when the rest of the market has gone the other way (though some might say thats NTL).

Re: Pricing change for NTL telephony - rumour
 

Time Freedom customers looked elsewhere for their third party carrier calls, I personally wouldn't put up with this new per min billing and the fact that you generally get through to India when you call Freedom customer services. :rolleyes:

There are many other carriers available, a good site for info is http://www.uswitch.com/

Mines £1.21 on average, don't see why they don't just bill me yearly. It would save them money on printing out the bill and posting it each month. :D

There's a lot of "Billy no mates" use this forum - or else we're all geeks using other means of keeping in touch with our friends :D

* edit: I'm as sad as the rest of you lot - only £1.64 last month and as for the mobile phone, didn't get anywhere near the 45 minutes includive allowed on my tarrif :sleep:

My last phone bill was 74 pence.:)

Re: Pricing change for NTL telephony - rumour
 

This would mean that ntl would become 8p per call mor eexpensive than BT rather than 5p.

It becomes more of a rip-off every day (esp when you add in the £1 charge for a telephone bill and a £1 charge for 1571).

Re: Pricing change for NTL telephony - rumour
 

These changes only affect NTL Freedom (off-net) customers and not NTL Cable (on-net) customers.
If you had NTL Freedom, 1571 would be provided free by BT.

Re: Pricing change for NTL telephony - rumour
 

I think I can shed some light on this as it's an issue I have been trying to resolve.

The message about per-minute billing is currently being displayed on all Freedom bills. It only applies to Freedom customers, NOT customers who use an ntl telephone line.

Where the confusion has come about, is that customers with ntl lines who view their DIALUP bill on the web, will also see this message. Also stand alone cable modem customers who request a VAT invoice will see it too. It shouldn't have happened that way, but it did.

It does only apply to Freedom accounts, and I have not heard any plans to apply this to customers who have a full ntl telephone line, such customers need not be concerned.

Re: Pricing change for NTL telephony - rumour
 

Thanks for that clarification Mark. As I said in my original post this 'info' came to me as a rumour. It would seem that the displaying on the message on webbills for onnet customers is what has caused the confusion / concern.
