You signed the contract based on the rate offered at the time .... as you did with Gas/Water/Electric etc ..... so what's the difference
I don't see BT or Telewest or The Electric/Gas/Water giving me 2 months free BB, Electric, Gas, Water either, new customers are treated the same as existing ones.

They also (except water) are in a competitive position where the network is used for distribution and can be used by all. I cannot by cable services off another provider, if I want alternate BB, I need to switch to a different network infrastructure (copper twisted pair), but on that network infrastructure, I can pick and chose my provider.

Also is it right to compare NTL to Electric, Gas and Water which are necessary life utiliites, whereas NTL (except telco) is considered a discretionary purchase.
