3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

ok we currently have 1mb @ £17.99 and the family pack @ £19.50 plus the 5p talk plan @ £10.50 = £47.99 ............ we have been looking at what we watch on the tv and think that the base pack would be fine and the 3 for £33 is a saving of £14 a month ..but is the 1mb uncapped on the 3 for £33 deal ?

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

1mbit is uncapped as far as i know.

Also as far as I know its no different to the 1mbit service your getting at the moment, execpt it would cost you less ;)

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

i wonder if i would save money ? as i have the 5p plan at the moment so when the mrs calls her mum for a hr in the evening it costs 5p but as she is not local this would now be 3p per minute so thats £1.80 :mad:

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

afaik if you are on TUL then national rate off peak calls are still 5p for upto an hour.

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

mmmmm decisions decisions so what do ntl call local ?

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

The same as BT.

Are you sure about that? That would make TUL seem very attractive but I cannot find any answer on ntl.com

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

so the 5p/6p talk plan is better than talk unlimited local ?

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

im sure you guys can help a little more ! :mad:

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

so can anybody confirm that there is no 3gb cap on the 1mbit that is included in the 3 for £33 deal ? beacause on the site it says a 3gb cap

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

It says on the official site CAPPED at 3 mb a month

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

but new customers get it uncapped http://www.home.ntl.com/page/td3

well im gonna get it and if they give me any problems i will cancel and go to bt

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

That's old info, it says here it's uncapped. It used to be a cap of 3gig.

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

well i have gone and got the 3 for £33 and the base pack is not bad but it seems like top up tv to me ? which is only £8.99 or am i missing something ? could somebody be clever enough to post a package comparison oh here ?

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

The base pack is all the Freeview channels plus Sky 1, Sky 2, Living, UKGold, Boomerang, Cartoon Network, MTV, VH1, Bloomberg, Discovery, etc.

http://www.home.ntl.com/page/basepackfulllisting

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

so worth £11 u reckon ? i notice you can get 2 for £15 over at http://www.sky.com/ordersky/channelpackages

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

Where does the £11 come from? Take away the cost of the broadband connection and telephone service from £33 and you end up paying a lot less than £11 for the TV service. £17.99 for internet and £12.50 for Talk Unlimited Local works out at £30.49. That means the TV service is costing only £2.50.

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

very good point i was asuming each service was £11 each but you have a very good point

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

I knew Channel NTL would come in useful eventually. Local is your area code and all adjacent areas codes.

Suppose that means people near the coast get the worse deal because we are adjacent to the sea in some cases LOL! ;)

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

well my code is 0208

but the mrs calls 01908

so is that local ?

ntl dont seem to tell you what local is ?

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

Possibly not. 01908 is Milton Keynes, and i think this is outside of your local area.
NTL won't publish maps giving out this information, as there are so many changes it would be impossible to keep up with it.

According to a site that seems to be based on BT, which shouldn't be too unsimilar, some of your local codes would be these:
01322 01372 01689 01707 01708 01727 01737 01753 01784 01883 01895 01923 01932 01959 01992.

0190 seems to fall outside of your regoinal area also, so it is possible that these calls are charged at National Rate.
If you need to know for certain, however, then i suggest calling NTL and asking them as they will have more accurate information.

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

so we was on the 5p talk plan before so now we have to ay 3p per minute instead of 5p for a whole hr :mad: could we still have the 5p talk with this plan or would we have kept it as we already had it ?

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

As good a place as any to look would be your local BT phonebook. They tell you one section what is a local call and I would assume that NTL will class their local calls the same

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

but im not a bt customer so i dont have one of there books :mad:

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

But its not a BT phone book, they just have the contract to produce it so they have their advertising all over it. If you look at your phone book it will say the area, i.e. Northern Ireland... though I think this may have been changed to a Belfast only version?

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

ok so all of the below numberes in the link must be local ?

http://www.thephonebook.bt.com/publi...e=020&x=24&y=2

but can i still get the 5p call plan with talk unlimited local

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

Yeah, and your talk plan doesn't make it any different. Local rate is local rate!

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

?

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

What i mean is, yes all those numbers in the link are local to you. So they will be included in your Talk Unlimited evening and weekend calls.
Local rate areas won't change no matter what call plan you're on.

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

would it be possible to add the 5p talk plan to the 3 for £33 deal ?

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

Don't think so, not if you already have Talk Unlimited Local. Why would you want to though?

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

So the mrs can call her mum in milton keynes @ 5p for a hr instead of 3p per minute

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

Maybe you can, i just can't imagine them letting you have 2 different talk plans.

Someone else will know more than me!

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

No the 5p talk plan would be a downgrade. You can upgrade to TU National though.

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

looking at it i would be better to drop the tv and phone keep the broadband and get vonage for £9.99 a month http://www.vonage.co.uk/products_premium.php

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

BT call charge groups and numbers local to them can be found at the bottom of the page at http://www.davros.org/phones/charging.html

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

As long as you do not mind not being able to call 999 when you most need it! ;)

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

I think vonage and freetalk offer you the product on a 14 day trial so there's no harm in testing it first.

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

the deal for 33 quid is a good deal. for 32.99 you get talk unlimited local, base pack television and UNLIMITED 1mb BB. Recently NTL have called local within 30 miles. if your calling further away than that, then you can easily add Talk Unlimted for an extra 4 pounds. free calls up to an hour at a time to all uk land lines on 01 or 02 numbers. 36.99 is a really good deal for that.

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

so i can call 01908 for free ?

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

Talk Unlimited is only £4 extra but is not calls at any time (only off-peak).
Talk Unlimited 24 is at any time but is £12.50 extra.

---------- Post added at 09:19 ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 ----------

Yes, any UK national number starting 01 or 02 for up to an hour off-peak on Talk Unlimited or any time on Talk Unlimited 24.

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

but the 3 for £33 is talk unlimited local ?

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

Correct.
Talk Unlimited is £4 extra.
Talk Unlimited 24 is £12.50 extra.

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

but i cant have talk unlimited as im on 3for £33

Re: 3 for £33 whats he cap ?
 

Yes you can:
Talk Unlimited is £4 extra
Talk Unlimited 24 is £12.50 extra
