I read somewhere today, can't remember where but I will look, that broadband prices in the UK have fallen 25% in the past year. Have NTLs?

Still waiting for the answers to the questions you are avoiding, LOL.
Some people dont necessarily want a landline with the increasingly good mobile deals. Supposing I wanted ADSL I would have to pay 2 line rentals.

Using a BT Line (and BT Provider) call charges are not less especially if your paying £9.50 for line rental, As ive been through before, It depends on you calling patterns but ntl is pretty much equal to BT. Granted if you use another provider you can make some good savings.

Some broadband costs have fallen 25% but look at ntls competitors BT, AOL, etc who are all still charging in excess of £27.99 a month. There are deals to be found but do most of the general public bother to look, sadly not, in comparision to other big providers ntl is spot on, infact ntls pricing was years ahead of its competitors. Admittedly they may need to make alterations to the service soon to remain competitive.

But due to the lack of competition in the TV Market I couldnt change even if I did see a bargain (supposing BT repair my line!) because id rather pay more than have to endure Sky again for tv!!
