NTL offering free sky sports
I've just received my local freebie paper with a lovely wraparound from NTL offering free sky sports (all channels) to new customers signing up to family pack plus a telephone talk plan. I see this offer is also on their website.
Now this really ****'s me off. I've been with NTL for about 7+ years and spend nearly £100 per month on BB, TV & telephone and not once have I been offered any kind of loyalty discount for anything.
How about a nice letter saying "we see that you have been with us for quite some time now (even though at times we are a bunch of ****'s), and have consistently paid your bill loyally every month (even though the service occasionally lets you down). For your continued support we would like to offer you sky sports 1/2 price for a year. Regards NTL."
Now I'm all for NTL attracting new customers with special offers, but why do they have to make existing, loyal customers feel so shafted. The mobile phone companies seem to realise that this practice does not always make good business sense by offering good deals to existing customers.
Oh well I guess I'll have to keep paying my over priced Sky Sports subscription to subsidise all those new customers.
