If the 1mb service dropped back to ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£34.99 I think they will have a great product, though this may happen it's not likely to soon as they have only just put the price up to ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£37.99. I really can't see the price being reduced again until well after the 1mb service has been upgraded to 1.5mb and most customers with broadband through their STB being upgraded to a Samsung box.
Has anyone actually thought about how much the new samsung boxes are costing NTL? Maybe the ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£3 increase per month is to help pay for all of the box replacements, once they have gained profit again maybe then they will think of reducing price?
Thats my 2p anyway.
