Angry Justify charging for half a package

Can someone tell me how NTL can inform me there will be an increase in my anologue from £37 to £47 and tell me that includes £9.50 for a phone line even though they also tell me I cannot have the phone as the cable is wrong, surely trading standards stops people selling part of a product for the full asking price. I wanted to upgrade to digital take the phone and Broadband but as I cannot I think the phone rental should be removed as I not only have to pay £47 but also £11 to BT to provide a phone that I am also paying NTL for.

Re: Justify charging for half a package

I believe NTL waive the £9.50 on a case-by-case basis if you cannot have a phone line.

Re: Justify charging for half a package

Not what Customer Service told me when I called, just got an attitude of tough which was very dissapointing, if this is the case I am cancelling after sticking with it since NTL took over my C&W subscription, I lost my phone (moved across the street) 5 years ago but didn't moan cos I thought it was still not bad value but now it feels that I am keeping all the same channels ut paying a 20 odd % price hike.

Her, used to be a regular at nthw.com and provided lots of useful info on channel line ups, and future additions. Would imagine that sort of freedom is no longer available.
