After several years of having no reason to hate NTL i finally have one. I have had NTL broadband for over 4 years now and for my own TV i have Sky. I still live at home with my family yet i'm always the one who looks after anything electrical in the house so as a surprise i decided to get the TV's downstairs hooked up to NTL so i could finally dump our crappy TV aerial. My intention was to subscribe to the basic ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£10 pm package and have it installed in the lounge, then i'd connect the second TV downstairs to the RF out and tune in 1-5 and using the signal from the NTL box. Well i rang up NTL today to order the service only to be told that i also had to have a telephone line as part of the package as well which would cost an addtional ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£9.50 meaning i would paying paying ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£19.50, for that price i could get another two Sky subscriptions.

So well done NTL you just lost another potential customer, why the hell do you have to have a telephone line with the TV service!!!!!

Well thats my rant over,
See you guys.
