from 08/10/08:
it will cost you £60 for an install (up from £30)
£25 for a self-install (where they post it to you if youve had cable in your house before)
£99 for other work charge i.e. if you want your box/modem moving or an additional telephone socket,or any visit of that nature from a tech (up from £75) this includes people who accidentally damage their cable and require a visit,this will also include a £30 call-out charge from the service tech.
talk about timing!!!
EDIT:the £60 is the charge for a priority manned install,up from £45.

EXACTLY in the current climate wouldnt you be more encouraged (as a new sub) to go for the cheapest installation cost from a provider?? for pretty much the same thing,my point is that cable has always been known to be cheap to get installed,i just thought it was horrendous timing considering all thats going on,im not against a price hike per se,just the timing has me perplexed
