I've just had NTL phone up my mum (account in her name, but i spoke to the dude) offering us a TV package.... We currently just have 750k Internet and the 123 phone thing...
The guy on the phone was offering to add on a call package, for all calls that are done off peak and weekends... apprently saving us around £5 per month... as according to the dudewe mostly use the phone off peak... and spend about £10 or so on calls...
he said if we take up the call package (apprently saving us around £5), we'd also get free TV, the box, installtion, subscription all free for a year...
Sounded like a decent package, but they called just as my mum had to leave for work, and i convinced the dude we'd have to think about it and he'd hopeuflly call back tomorrow...
Before we hung, i forgot to ask... does any know if the TV service we'd get is any good? would have any decent channels or just a load of basic free ones, similar to freeview...
Another reason i'm skeptical is because for majority, if not all calls, we've been using
www.call18866.co.uk, and using the 0808 access...(1/2p per min to uk land lines)... for the last 3 months or so, so i'm not sure where the £10 of calls is coming from... it was true that almost all calls are off peak, and using the NTL, no more dialing 0808 would be good for my mum...
Bascially... do people think its worth agreeing to this new package? i guess we coudl just use the 18866.co.uk for when my mum phones relatives in the philippines... and having the tv woudl be good... but only if it had some decent channel ??
