Of course the false game can be played either way, I could claim NTL advertise fantastic packages (digital packages) but they not available to me so it must be false technology. 
Also you forgot to mention not all NTL cabled areas can have broadband, does that also mean false technology? |
If you read my post you'll notice I state 'ntl broadband cabled areas'.
If ntl say you can have broadband, you can have it. Any of it. If someone like UKOnline or Bulldog say I can have broadband, I can only have a speed that they don't actually offer any more. Which means I pay the price for a faster speed, but don't actually get the faster speed. Bulldog, for example, can only offer me a 2mb package for £29.99, except that they 'regret to inform me' that my speed will only actually be 512mb because of the limits of my exchange.
I wonder what the reaction would be if ntl did that?
Ordinary customers are expected somehow to plough this minefield and guess what package they will get and how much they will pay for it. Bulldog was at least honest and told me at ordering that they intended to rip me off, other companies I have tested have craftily not mentioned that my speed will be capped at 512mb despite being happy to sign me up for a 1mb, 2mb, 3mb or faster service. Disgraceful!
