Indeed, you've hit the nail right on the head, there. I have more faith in carrots. And possibly Tony Blair. Maybe. Actually, I'm not sure about the Tony Blair one. In fact, that statement frightens me a little, so I'll ignore it. It might go away.

Having said that DD does in theory save money - I think it costs £2 a month more if you pay any other way. In my book £24.00 in a year saving, plus avoiding any risk of that occasional £20 reconnection cost, is worth the gamble.

I'm not a good gambler, though I am a great admirer of fruit machines and their pretty, pretty lights. Never won anything on them, mind.
Anyway, what with the ongoing state of ntl affairs, I strongly feel that paying the #2 extra a month is, in fact, an insurance premium that ensures that my limited funds in the bank account stays in a state that my broken head can deal with. It makes sure that we have a house to live in, food on the table, gas and electricity to cook the food with (I have a funky dual fuel cooker that I can set fire to things with, and it's shiny), and sundry other bills. I can't afford for it to go wrong.
I feel far more secure with my #2 premium than ntl delving into my bank account, unleashing their hounds of monetary hell and making my head explode in a most dramatic fashion as a result.
