Justify charging for half a package
 
Can someone tell me how NTL can inform me there will be an increase in my anologue from £37 to £47 and tell me that includes £9.50 for a phone line even though they also tell me I cannot have the phone as the cable is wrong, surely trading standards stops people selling part of a product for the full asking price. I wanted to upgrade to digital take the phone and Broadband but as I cannot I think the phone rental should be removed as I not only have to pay £47 but also £11 to BT to provide a phone that I am also paying NTL for.

I believe NTL waive the £9.50 on a case-by-case basis if you cannot have a phone line.

Not what Customer Service told me when I called, just got an attitude of tough which was very dissapointing, if this is the case I am cancelling after sticking with it since NTL took over my C&W subscription, I lost my phone (moved across the street) 5 years ago but didn't moan cos I thought it was still not bad value but now it feels that I am keeping all the same channels ut paying a 20 odd % price hike.

If you are happy to then send me your details by PM - name and address, account number, phone number or email address. I work for ntl within the TV Product team. I will ask someone to look at this.

Don't want to sound suspicious .... but ... can Sam please identify himself to the Admin team so that members can be assured that these details required will be used correctly.

Thought of that but all info is already in Telephone Directory, only need address and name to look up.

Shrewd move :D

Still, if we can Identify Sam as NTL staff, then we could possibly use him in the future :D

Her, used to be a regular at nthw.com and provided lots of useful info on channel line ups, and future additions. Would imagine that sort of freedom is no longer available.
