Gulp !!!
 
I've just worked out that my 600k modem and digi base pack cost me over £500 a year! It's suprising how it adds up.......... :disturbd:

Ours used to be similar, but instead of the Disney channels we used to have the OAI at £7.50. Came to a tidy sum of £75.49, or £905.88 a year :disturbd: :disturbd: :shocked:

i think it was meant tongue in cheek , or at least i hope it was ;) , not fair to tar all ntl employees with the same brush :)

Yeah, it was meant cheekily, not seriously.

Of course not all ntl CS staff are like that... just the ones I have to deal with...

I don't think £8.99 would make a big dent in it :D

Re: Gulp !!!
 
Ok, at the moment, I got:
Base pack TV (free phone line): £20
Broadband (512k): £25
T.P.Y - £540

Hopefully, I will have soon:
BT Line: £12
ADSL: £25 or
ADSL: £30

T.P.Y - £444 or £504 (depending of what speed I get)

The other option I have is:
BT Line: £12
ADSL: £25 (or £30)
Sky: £40 first month (to get £1 installation), then £20 afterwards.
T.P.Y - £924 or £984 (depending of what speed I get)

Now that I think of it!!!!

We pay a minimum of £82.99 per month. That equates to £995.88 per year!!!

The calculation above is based upon:

Broadband (600k) = £24.99
Family TV Pack = £10.00
Base Pack and Phone Line = £18.00
2nd & 3rd STB = £30.00 (£15 each)

I think we should all be given shares in NTL!! :shocked: :)

Re: Gulp !!!
 
:eek: my lot would come to £1427.8 8 (god bless the associate package :tu: )
