sorry if that was aimed at me , it was in jest :( ;) :D

Re: Free xbox offer?
 

I've just realised that I've been too honest for my own good. :mad:

I'm in the process of moving house, so I informed NTL of my new address as of next month, as it's still in an NTL area and I'm still under my initial 12-month contract.

However, I've just realised that I should have given them a fake address somewhere abroad, and then when I've moved in to my new house, I should have registered again. I'm sure that NTL would not realise that someone living just around the corner from me, with my same name and with my same banking details and taking the exact same package that I already have, on the same day that I cancelled from service at my current address might be the same person :D :D :D

Re: Free xbox offer?
 

ps - does anyone know if their online moving house service actually works? I phoned up on last weekend, and am supposed to have a call from an NTL representative soon. Only been 5 days so far :rolleyes:

Re: Free xbox offer?
 

ntl will ask for proof of your new address (I.E solicitor's letter etc) to confirm that the area is not serviceable.

Sorry, but fraud is just downright wrong. :nono:

Re: Free xbox offer?
 

after all the problems i am still having with this disconnecting bs, i think i deserve one.

the thing is they won't even send a engineer out for me, and are treating me like crap on the tech support phone line :(

Re: Free xbox offer?
 

why dont they invest some money in the network, instead of dishing out free xboxes?

Annoys me that rather than look after the faithful, they go chasing new custom

Free Xbox for new subscribers!
 

Are NTL taking the P*ss or what??

Once again, current customers (some of whom have stuck by NTL for years) are completely ignored at the expense of new customers. According to the BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/2207229.stm) all new subscribers over the summer, get a free Xbox!!

I can understand trying to tempt new customers, but wouldn't a better way be to offer a more competitive service rather than attempting (rather blatantly) to buy business?

Re: Free xbox offer, for new ntl subscribers only
 

Has Anyone actualy Recieved a Xbox yet ??

Has Anyone received their Xbox from NtL yet
 

i have subscribed to NTL bcoz they offered the free Xbox
i subscribed on the 21st of July .& got installed 28th of July ...

i havent heard a word from NTL about my XBOX ..any one else have this problem or get their XBOX ???

Re: Has Anyone received their Xbox from NtL yet
 

give em a ring and ask them what is going on ;)

Re: Free xbox offer, for new ntl subscribers only
 

So would it only be 24.99 pm or do you also have to rent a modem from them?

Would this be via a Cm only & would you also be able to put it through router as it says "xbox only" somewhere on it.

Re: Free xbox offer, for new ntl subscribers only
 

I just rang up & enquired to see if I can get a CM ony service with the xbox.

Yes they have plenty available, but I would be charged the £50 installation fee.
The fee only being required if you want the Xbox.

So you are basically being charged for the xbox.
isn't this misrepresentation?

Hmm, I wonder if its actually worth it, saving £49.99 on a new xbox & having tto go with NTL again for 12 months. Somehow I think I'd rather spend the extra £49.99 than go back but we will see.

I also have doubts about the returns policy with NTL, whats that going to be like?
(IMO = awful).

Re: Free xbox offer, for new ntl subscribers only
 

You may want to check on that very, very carefully. As it is essentially free you may have a nightmare time if something goes wrong with the XBox, I doubt you would have the normal legal rights that you would have if you bought it in a shop.

Re: Free xbox offer, for new ntl subscribers only
 

I dont know, your paying £50 for it & its part of a package, so effectivly you have some rights.
Though heck knows what they are.

Most likely a case of send it back to MS.
