if it wasent for me (i made the decisons based on the cost and information provided) we would not have sky or ntl!

there is no such thing as customer loyalty for compaines its not about how long you are with them, its about whether they will loose your existing custom, some bother others dont, so why should we not squeeze any company out of some discounts ?

it seems alot of utility compaines dont offer existing customers discounts, yet are signing new ones up with some excellent deals.

The difference being people here are talking about getting a discount on what they already pay for. Your talking about a discount that was offered to get you to spend more money.
