Nothing wrong with trying to get a better deal!
We all do it, on car insurance, home/contents insurance, mobile phones, the list goes on. However if anyone tries to get a better deal with your beloved NTL their conning so & so's!
I called NTL to get a better deal on my BB, Said I would leave if I was not given one! And I would have cancelled and gone elsewhere if I had been refused one. The fact that I had just cancelled my phone & tv services with them 30 day's prior must of made them think I ment it! (And I did.)
I have had zip from NTL prior to this even when I first signed up with them, ohh unless you call a so called free install that took them 3 months to complete anything to go by!
Why should new customers get six months half price this or half price that when I never got anything?
Business is business, NTL don't give a toss about me neither does any other business for that matter. As long as the money keeps coming from my bank account thats all that matters to them!
And I don't care about NTL or any other business, as long as I get my product or service at a competetive price and it works then that's all I want!
On another note NTL should sort out their own cable network and clear their debts instead of spending money they don't have on purchasing other cable companies etc....
