Broadband Plus (FREE)
 
Just had a NICE chap from NTL ringing me up. He said I could get Broadband Plus free for 3 Months. But because I am on 150KB they will give me 600KB free for 1 month.

(Sorry if this has already been posted) But I am new here. (lol)

Cheers NTL

Hi, JediMaster, & Welcome to nthw. :wavey:

Sounds like a ploy to get you to upgrade to 600k to me, as I though BB + was free to everyone for the first 3 months anyway?

I suppose you could say that it was a ploy but because of the content in BB+ it would not work well, if at all, on the 150k hence the reason it is only offered with 600k or 1mb .

Never thought you were so no offence taken at all, was just trying to explain to others why it is only available to 600k or 1mb customers.

:Peace:

ROFL...

Well free 600KB upgrade is not bad. I will of course CANCEL at 29 days.. :naughty:

The only SNAG is, NTL cant find my Modem details... (This happened 16 months ago. NTL had my details mixed up with another member). Oh well, Good old NTL :zzz:

The problem is though 'JM', is that you won't want to go back to 150k after experiencing 600k (& this of course, is what ntl are hoping for)

I see what you are saying. But I would still be happy to go back to my 64KB @ £6 PCM. I dont use any P2P (full of Virus & stuff) so I cant see the point of having 600KB or 1MB with the way the internet is going (Fines for getting Illegal MP3 & Vids)

Thats my 2p worth. I do like a fast speed for webdesign & stuff. But I am in NO rush. Can wait another 30 min for a few files I send.

Will enjoy the 600KB (if NTL can find my account) for FREE & see how it goes.

Anyone here want a FREE upgrade:

PM me & Use the Force!
