Jumping ship
 
I too am jumping ship

Ordered a nice simple package today with plus.net £24.99 a month and the modem and activation is included with 512k connection.

I want to know now how do I go about quitting the service I have with NTL.

Do I need to write a letter ? How much notice do I need to give (customer over 4 years) to cancel the access ?

Im in Swansea so who do I address the cancellation letter to ? - Im not gonna use the phone or email as their too unreliable.

Any help is appreciated.

You have to give one months notice.

According to ntls T&Cs notice can be by snail mail or email. Again the T&Cs say you can use the address on your bill, as for an email address, who knows.

Main thing is to make sure you do it in writing so you have proof, and I'd kill off any Direct Debits as soon as just to be sure.

Sound advice m8.....

Make sure you get some kind of proof when they give you the disconection date. I aranged mine on friday for the end of this month and they cut me off the next day :mad:

Make sure you write down the name of the bod you speak to, and the agreed date of cut off. You can then confirm that in your letter. :)

just phoned up now, and made my cancellation letter, but I have to send that to Belfast according to the woman that dealt with me, I dont know if thats right, im a "celtic customer" based in Swansea.

And my Plus.Net ADSL is due for activation on 22nd :D Already the service ive had off them and the services are better than NTL. And im not even connected yet.

That is correct, the old Celtic region covers NI, Scotland and Wales. Cancellation correspondence goes to Belfast :)
