yes you can have broadband on its own.

Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk
 

Yes.

I'm not certain they were lying, although it could well be the old CS-BS® where they tell you what you want to hear to get you off the phone (still lying IMO)

Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk
 

Yes you can have BB on its own. You also probably want to move back to BT ASAP as they will require a 3 or 12 month minimum contract before you can move to TalkTalk (depending on whether you currently have a BT line installed).

Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk
 

Quick Update. I managed to talk to a nice guy in retentions who explained that the deal does only apply to the DTV part of the base pack. He also told me that the billing system only records the 1/2 price BB for 3 months but it actually reapplies after 3 months.

I asked him if there was anything he could do to extend the deal and he told me that as the above had not been made clear to me up front he would extend the 1/2 price offer to a year. So fair enough.

Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk
 

oh right must be the same 1/2 price bb i was supposed to be getting that I got for 3 months which wasn't half price was always different discount each month and after 3 months I no longer got it.

Decided against querying as I just no longer have time to call into NTL

Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk
 

Managed to get 10mbit and Talk Unlimited 24 for £20.50 per month. I was told that this was for 12 months.

I also cancelled the DTV package and am going to be called by an engineer to arrange collection of my Samsung STB for a ntl: cable modem. I was told that the 10mbit would only be activated once I get the ntl: cable modem but I was expecting them to activate it now so I get the maximum speed possible through the Samsung STB.

Are they pulling wool over my eyes?

Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk
 

Vegeta, what made you cancel DTV ????? Did they offer you a deal to keep DTV or just BB + TU24

Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk
 

I cancelled DTV because ntl don't have some channels which I want.

Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk
 

ok finally got my second bill from ntl after the discounts were put on it, and finally its now correct!

can some1 now confirm as to whether ntl have a proper deal to challenge talktalk yet? also can some1 confirm this free international calling [to challenge talktalk?] that ppl have been talking about- if its true that is!

Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk
 

nope still no official package to challenge talk talk from ntl maybe it will happen when we all start leaving

Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk
 

I don't think they will be worrying to much considering talktalk are currently been investigated by ofcom

Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk

Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk

Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk

Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk
 

please verify against other IT news media and also speak to ofcom in regards to this. Numerous complaint from the industry, customers and advertising agencies have been lodged already.

There is small print, worries over delivery and cost implications that are being reviewed
