NTL, and any other company, need new customers to add to the revenue coming in which pays for upkeep and expansion. Most companies give incentives to encourage new customers to sign up. When I first joined NTL I was getting DTV Family Pack, telephone and free dial-up internet for only £9.99 a month. This package cost less than I was paying for a dial-up package.

heh I would rather lie to my investors then to customers, customers pay simon duffy's wages.

Re: [Merged] *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please
 

But if you lie to the investors, the investors pull out, they take their money with them. With the amount NTL is in debt, that would bankrupt the company. Regardless of the amount of profit made by the company.

The you would go bankrupt very, very quickly.

Re: [Merged] *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please
 

ok point taken :)

not quite sure what happened then, I would have to guess the cap is still planned but just delayed.

Re: [Merged] *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please
 

Here's an alternative to NTL... http://www.ukonline.net/broadband/?doc=bb2000 . Uncapped 2mbit for £29.99 a month.

It seems not all ISPs agree that caps are essential.

:notopic: We have a forum to discuss Other ISPs, & there is a thread running on that very product, but it's not relevant to the discussion here about speed upgrades.

Please keep on topic, thanks.

Re: [Merged] *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please
 

I meant to put it in the cap thread :p Not that there's much difference between the 2.

I only saw that Other ISPs forum after posting, sorry :)

according to the bill payer of the house the 1.5Mb is still going at £25.99 now if thats not rewarding older customers, i dunno what is :D way to go ntl i imagine the prices will stay the same even when they go 3Mb :angel:

aparantly ordering it when ntl was 512kb only was a good thing, back then when price was lower. that cant be bad at all

even though i am ordering ukonline tomorrow. way to go ntl if ukonlines offer wasent so good i would stick with 25.99 3Mb

Re: [Merged] *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please
 

if it is then i would keep quiet ;) :D :D :D

Re: [Merged] *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please
 

There is no £25.99 3 meg package available.

Re: [Merged] *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please
 

Good for you.. :shrug:

What's wrong with offering incentives to KEEP customers once you have them?

Re: [Merged] *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please
 

alot of people dont bother switching services becuase they are happy with the service, NTL does not need to worry about people who are existing customers as most are proberbly happy and dont or hardly even complain.

compaines will only take advantage of long time payers and subscribers, notice how effective the retention technique is ?

Re: [Merged] *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please
 

i know there isent but the current 1.5Mb is at 39 or whatever it is and i still pay £25.99 from the old pricing i am not being charged the 30something for the 1.5 so maybe the same will happen for the 3Mb, as i am told its not happening until march now so i wont find out but im sure it would stay the same:angel:

Re: [Merged] *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please
 

ive been told by a ntl worker tha they might be upgradin internet users again 1.5 will go up to 3mb for same price. u no if this is true ?
