Please don't call me an ntl fanboy, because I am not, whatever one of those is. I'm afraid those who can only see the company as bad will need to accept that, just as it is wrong to claim the company is alright good and right, it is equally wrong to claim it is always bad and evil.
Your post starts from a position of assumption that ntl have decided to take advantage of a possible situation with VOIP and have decided to use this to fleece their customers. This is total speculation and is entirely improbable, in actual fact.
Is there a good reason why BT wouldn't act in a similar way in relation to their telephony and broadband products? Or are they as saintly as Sky appear to be viewd by some on this site.
ALL companies exist to make money, and ALL companies will do whatever the market forces will permit them to do in order to achieve that.
Any company who claims they are only in business to benefit the customer is lying, and anyone who believes them is naive.
Don't blame the companies, blame the capitalist system in which we live, and also the government of the day for permitting the action concerned.
