If you feel insulted, I apologise.
When I was notified of the new price levels in my last NTL bill, I thought, "Why am I being asked for £3 per month more? when the other two tiers are not ".
There are many who feel the same way.
In fact, when I contacted NTL all their response was " Well it was all done by the marketing dept, I too think they made an error, but the new prices come into effect in june "
No mention of the speed increases by the way, which imo happen when they happen, what NTL tell you in publications etc do not believe.
If people are quite happy to pay the increase for something in the future then good luck to them.
Me? I prefer things up front.
A little like paying £1.20 for a four pint carton of milk in your supermarket.
You go in the following day and it is £4.20, when you question the price they tell you " well in three months time it will be a six pint carton."
Taking the above scenario, would I be justified in thinking I am being fleeced?

All imo ofcourse.

I didn't see you posting about how unfair it was for the lower tier to increase by £3 per month last year when the two higher tiers didn't increase. Would you have thought it fairer to have only increased this by £1 and put the top two tiers up by £1 as well?
