NTL in commercial premises?
Does NTL yet deliver a service for Pubs & Clubs?
I am asking because my local non-profit making social club has just received a letter from Sky, advising of an increase in rates for the Standard Package & Sky Sports (no movies, no PPV etc), from £264 to £311 per month, an increase of 18%. I am having difficulty to justify continuing to have Sky, at a price of £3732 per year, and the cost of providing a service to our members (additional profit on sales do not cover the costs).

I've seen a lot of clubs using foreign satellite (big motorised dish outside), seems you get most footy matchs on it and quite a lot of free music....
im guessing its either free or a lot cheaper than sky

AFAIK no they don't. There is no money in it.
There could be the odd legacy contract from the old cable companies knocking about but I don't believe it is now a service they offer.

Not sure, I wasn't actually the fella that did the ordering or anything, but I do know it wasn't a residential set up, (because it went in the common room and they wouldn't let us have the regular setup) but the budget certainly wasn't anything like £3,500/year...

Re: NTL in commercial premises?
They don't offer a TV service for commercial premises at the moment. I think that it's the fee charged by $ky for ntl to supply businesses, etc. makes it non-competitive.
