I have been a ntl customer for 6 years and take almost service they offer, 2x stb, 1meg CM, 2x phone lines, film 4. OK not everything but a lot, bills are usually 120 per mth.
After a lot of problems I decided to break out and see the world outside ntldom and thought I would share my experiences as they happen. Sorry if its boring, just bare with me or click on something else
Soooooooo here we go.
Phoned BT; one ring and a happy voice answered. 'Welcome back to BT', all free. £11.50 per mth with call costs less than ntl, not bad I thought. Installed 48hrs later...great. Then i found the BT web site and fancied CLI. I ordered it on line using the preliminary info from my line order sheet. 3-5 days they said. 2 hrs later my phones were all lighting up with CLI.....fantastic.
next SKY. £40 per mth package gets you £1 install with about 165 channels. Thought it would be a long time coming but NO, next day install sir? that will do nicely.
Broadband. Here it went a bit (just a bit) wrong. Spent 10 mins filling out pipex's forms only to find out at the last moment that they dont take solo cards....bugger. Had a recommendation to use freedom2surf
www.f2s.com.
Signed up on line £19 per mth for 512/256 with static ip and NO CACHES. They said 5 working days to test line, 1 hour later the tests were done. Unfortunately i have to wait till feb 13th for BT to enable the line. Still, the good service from f2s is refreshing.
All in all, I feel good to be changing things. I'm sure there will be bad stuff to report and believe me I will stick around here and spread the word on that too!
more soon, watch this space
