We're supposed to PAY to give them their boxes back?! I can't believe that happens on a regular basis - for a start, when I cancelled all my services last month (cancellation effective from next week), I questioned the CSR very carefully about what further responsibilities I had. She said nothing about this. I will be leaving the boxes by my front door and they can come and get them if they want them. Posting an adequately-packaged STB and SACM back to NTL would cost a fortune!
