Price increase
 

I have heard rumours when speaking to tech support and c/s the other day that we are due to have a price increase in the next few months.

They weren't too sure of the details but they seem to think that the 600k and 1MB will be going up by a few quid each. can anyone that works for ntl confirm this?

also the tv package is going to have its annual increase (thanks sky) :rolleyes:

Re: Price increase
 

Haven't heard anything about this.

Only time I've heard this mentioned was someone on the digitalspy forum. The general concensus over there was that any changes would be after the Langley CR3 rollout and probably be in line with Sky's charges. There wasn't any mention of internet price rises.

well if they do i reckon they will be comitting commercial suicide :(

Re: Price increase
 

I think my sky package went up by 60p (searches for the letter from sky+ about the increase) if i rightly remember it wasnt as much as last years increase.

If the ntl 1meg bb price is going up makes my choice of switching to 2meg adsl for £39.99 a month even better :)

Re: Price increase
 

ntl tend to from previous years experience do price rises around May?!?!

the BB price increase seems logical in as much as these are the only tiers not to of had one!!

i agree Paul it would be stupid but hey what do we know :shrug:

Re: Price increase
 

I suppose a rise is due but I am hardly suprised when it seems two ntl executives, award themselves with bonuses, £28Mill ion to be precise. NTL just love to rub the salt in their customers wounds.

Re: Price increase
 

I'm afraid that any price increase will have me downgrading to 600 or moving elsewhere.

I don't seem to get 1meg for most of the time, its always lagging for some reason, so a price increase will be the final straw. I hardly touch the phone yet pay over £100 each mth. Enough is enough.

(2 stbs, 1meg BB, 2nd phone line oh and film 4 with family pack)

Re: Price increase
 

it would be stupid though , adsl is getting cheaper :eek:

Re: Price increase
 

From someone considering the 1mb service, I'll be running to the hills for ADSL 2mb

Re: Price increase
 

No rumours or truths coming from here. Although, IMO, seeing as broadband is the biggest profit area already and competitor prices are falling, I don't think it would be a good idea.

Re: Price increase
 

I have heard no rumour of a price increase and considering working here, I think I would have, if people outside here have ...

Probably made up again, and then blown out of proportion by somebody like always happens in the forums :/

Re: Price increase
 

If the price went up by anything more than 1p i'll be off to grab me coat and get 2mb adsl for a while :D

sitting on the fence atm because the service is getting pretty poor now, (email, newsservers etc) and if there was a price increase that would be enough to get me moving...

Doubt they would if anything prices should come down. 1mb for £30, 600k for £22 and 150k increased to 256k... that would be nice

Re: Price increase
 

You got to admit though, a price rise is due everything else is going up this year, gas electric etc etc, ntl are porbably thinking, 'I know lets join that bandwagon.' :rolleyes:

Re: Price increase
 

Or maybe the price rises that ntl incur every year have to be balanced out somewhere? :rolleyes:

Re: Price increase
 

Can you justify the pay bonuses the ntl executives got and then NTL decide to increase their charges Orangebird? Because I am finding hard to.
