Which is the cheapest NTL or BT? its swings & rounderbouts but i rekon the swing is more to the BT side depending on your phone usage.

To be honest I never knew about the free calls, but I would soon use up this allocation at 7.9p a minute, which would most likely render ntl cheaper in my circumstances.
I did used to have the 1571 service and found it pretty poor, I used to get random messages from strangers on a different number, it is free so you cant expect much. I prefer my built in answerphone!!
Also I never realised the +vat on option 1, what is that all about?? So basically they are saying Option 1 is 3.5p per minute daytime?
I have had numerous flyers from BT asking me to come back, stating that option 1 is cheaper than ntl for daytime calls. Mmmmm
The only fault with ntl is the connection charges, but a 10 minute daytime call on ntl or BT Option 1 would be exactly the same.
BT Standard (£9.50) -- 7.9p x10 = 79p!! ahhh!
BT Option 1 (£11.50 ) -- 3.5p x 10 = 35p
ntl 3-2-1 (£9.50) -- 3 x 10 +5 = 35p
I think BT does some very misleading adverts!! I wont be going back either way, because theres not a chance im changing my TV as I refuse outright to ever ever let a Sky man near my house again!! Which brings me on to ntls other fault.......why include the phone?? Im sure the would have a lot more TV customers if the phone wasnt bundled!!
