Is this just another way for NTL to screw more money out of its customers or is there a technical reason behind this? I REALLY don't want the telephone line installed, I have a mobile and I'm not afraid to use it
Thanks guys. |
I'll answer your question seeing as no-one else bothered to (in 4 replies)...
Basically, it only takes ntl something like 14 months (someone correct me if I'm wrong) to break even on the cost of installing new customers if they have TV and phone, compared to something like 2 years for TV only.
