June Price Rises?
 

From http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...734#post712734
Given we already have another thread discussing the MPEG4 being dropped:
http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...80#post=710980

I would be interested in discussing any rumours on these price rises in June.

Re: June Price Rises?
 

From what I gather....

1) Cheap calls to the USA being removed.

2) £4 non DD charge per account.

Re: June Price Rises?
 

what was the old non DD charge £2?

Re: June Price Rises?
 

Given how many non-DD customers I know, if they increase each one by only £2 then they'll be raking it in lol.

Re: June Price Rises
 

I wonder if this will include the reduced rates with the international call plan or be used as an opportunity to upsell customers to plans with the ICP included (if they even do that anymore)

What is the Sky non-DD charge? I seem to remember it was £4.00 but can't find it on their website anywhere.

Re: June Price Rises?
 

Thanks!

If they are the only changes it will not make any difference to me! :)

Re: June Price Rises?
 

Is it just me or is there way to many price increases going on lately????

Re: June Price Rises?
 

Also peak/off peak call time is changing Peak rate is going to be 6am till 6pm instead of the current 8am till 6pm. So if you want to make a few cheap calls before heading to work you will need to get up earlier.

Also the international call plan is dropping from £2 a month to £1.50, telephone line rental will be going up by 50p.

Re: June Price Rises?
 

price rises alongside drops in service.

merger bigger company, normal behaviour for a dominant company people, ntl probably feel invincable now.

Re: June Price Rises?
 

I'm confused again.Line Rental? I thought the phone was free with DTV.

Re: June Price Rises?
 

No No No No No-Phone line rental is not free with ntl DTV. :banghead:

You pay £10.50 over the price of the TV package & they 'include' line rental, they don't sell it without the phone as if they did no one would take it as it's completely inferior to BT's in pretty much every way.

It's been a bone of contention for years, if you look at the prices on their website it shows (for example) £19.50* , then at the bottom it says...

Re: June Price Rises
 

Sky charge a £4 non dd fee and can any one confirm that ntl is going to charge £4 for non DD aswell

I pay my bill by DD:) but some people can not pay by dd as they dont have a bank account or just dont like DIRECT DEBIT:erm: i think the £4 non dd fee is a money make scam and ntl have clicked on to what sky are doing so are going to scam people aswell come on fair enuf if it was a £1 non DD fee but £4 is a p*ss:shocked: take :mad:

That is my view on it

Re: June Price Rises
 

Yes NTLs non-DD charge will be changing to £4. I am guessing it is to try and persuade more people to switch to DD. Its the best way to pay bills. All my Bills are paid by DD. Takes the hassle out of remembering to pay them.

Re: June Price Rises?
 

BT only charge an extra £1 for non payment by DD

I choose not to pay via DD where NTL are concerned due to all the incorrect billing errors etc that I get every month! (Well the last 5 months in a row anyway!)

I quit my phone & TV package & NTL have now given me good reason to quit my broadband to!

Re: June Price Rises?
 

Well-I've just had some very interesting info passed to me regarding these price rises....

I'm in the process of verifying it now (no offence to the 'passer' if you're reading this-you know I trust you ;) )

I'll update you ASAP, but if it is true then it isn't good news.
