Well I want to add 2 points.
1 - Its deals like this that make so many customer's ring retentions with fake intentions of leaving just so they get a discount, because they KNOW that ntl can offer them a lower price and stay in profit.
2 - I keep hearing the comment "we have all had our own deal when we signed up so live with it", but I didnt get any deal anywhere near this magnitude I got free install which seems normal now anyway but I paid the standard monthly fee's and I am sure many others did as well.
NTL are not a charity true so why are they been a charity case to get new customer's.

This must be a proftable price because it lasts for a year, if it isnt NTL have made a very dumb move because they are then paying a customer to use their service for the entire length of the minimum term of the contract.
