Hi I am an old NTL customer, I have had my analouge system since the year dot and have never seen much point in changing.

I have internet, tv and phone all basic package.

Can anyone tell me (in an easy to understand way) what i would gain by switching to digital. Or should i keep my analouge system thinking ntl may offer a better deal later to encourage customers to switch as it is mostly in ntl's benifit to have everyone on one system?

Bare in mind I use the internet mostly , rarely watch tv. and hardly ever use the phone.
they have told me alot of silly infomation that dosent seem to fit or benifit me at all and seems quite agresivly marketed against my interest in places.

e.i.

1 enhanced better tv signal (i dont see how a digital cable tv signal is better, its sent using the same optical cable light)

2 more chanels ( you can only watch one at a time, the good programmes being on mostly at the same time frame. plus i assume they mean they would have the ability to sell me more channels and I would'nt get anything good / extra thats free worth watching. As i said i hardly watch tv anyway and use the cheapest basic package)

3 I was told my cost would need to increase slightly for the benifits, when i objected to this and said i was'nt interested in paying more for what i already have, I then get told that i may be able to save using a different package! (see what i mean about trying to agresivly disadvantage me!).

4 The goverment is forcing the change to digital so i will have to change, (I would have thought that would only apply to air bourn signals)

Please can someone give me a more customer based bit of advise.

with thanks
Mr Limi
