Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk

Hi there

I'm in a similar situation to you but got the discounts last August when I actually did want to switch (rather than just ringing up trying it on with no intention of cancelling), so I was caught off-guard when he came back with discounts! I decided to take the discounts and stayed with them. I currently pay £28.99/month (£9.99 for the BB and £19.00 for the TV and phone) plus call charges.

Got a feeling that they probably wouldn't go any lower than these prices but may up you to 2mb with no extra charge. I'd be interested to see what you can get.

I'm quite happy with what I have, and the price - the 3 for £30 thing doesn't interest me as the TV package isn't as good and I hardly use the phone. I might see if I can get my BB increased to 2mb though.

Let us know how you get on.

I then noticed an offer in December for 1/2 price family pack for existing customers (still showing on their site (http://www.home.ntl.com/page/existing_fampackoffer - offer available to those customers not on a Family Pack) - I phoned and after some discussion (as I was already on Family Pack and at first CS claimed I was not entitled to it until I pointed out the wording on their website), the normal CS put me on this deal.

I am therefore paying £30.99 for 1MB, Family pack and 321 (plus coming to the end of a Onetel deal for free evening and weekend calls for one year). Is this still a good deal or should I be contacting Customer Retentions for the Talk Talk price match which will upgrade my BB speed - I have read the thread and can only recall one person mentioning that they got the TT and Family Pack - have others managed to get this and if so, at what price please (West Yorkshire)? The offer on Family Pack will finish at the end of next month and if other offers are available now, or then, that mean faster broadband as well I would like to get them (and am happy for my phone calls to be included as well now that the Onetel deal is finishing). The only complication may be that the broadband is through a Pace STB (still C&W branded as had for years!) which I understand cannot cope with faster speeds?

Many thanks
MrB
