According to a leaflet that came though my door a few months ago
NTL have approx 5 million customers,
So if we assume Ntl have a similer amount of customers paying by DD (48%)
if does not take long to work out that at £4.00 a month Ntl stand to make 9 to 10 million a month,that in no way can be justified as fair.
I have voted with my feet (at least i hope i have) and cancelled,but i do have grave concerns for people on low incomes,pensioners etc,who may not be able to have the benefit of DD.
I have contacted OFCOM stating these very points and was told that they are looking into it
