Re: Price increase

Re: Price increase

Im just waiting for the price of SDSL to come down to my price range and then im off ntl like a shot.

The only reasons I have really still got NTL is because......
A) Its nice to have the DTV (Paramount, Sky1, UKGold, etc), Note: its nice not neccessery.
B) We dont have a BT phone line, If we had that allready I probably would have snapped up ADSL ages ago.

Also if I did get DSL at some point I would have to buy my own modem, Probably ethernet based, not having any of this USB alcatel *****e.

Im using 1mb NTL bb right now however if I could get SDSL I would settle for 512K (though 1mb is still preffered) Just need that faster upstream (Hence why im on 1mb now, for the 256kb upload)

Edit: not that ive had any problems with My BB mind you, Its just im allready paying more than my ADSL friend for the same bandwidth, a price increase would be the last straw.

Re: Price increase

why only price rise on the top 2 tiers, ntl have 3 tiers all with the same cap and only the top 2 get a price rise, not sure what logic there is in that.

talking about complicated phone bills, how much is it for an itemised phone bill on bt? and on ntl?

Re: Price increase

I hope they don't increase prices but incase they do I will be watching carefully so I can reduce in time so not to pay the extra money. I am due to pay begining of next month and it will be more money for me if I go to 600K and if they increase by too much I can go to150K until I can get ADSL.....

NTL possibly have more customers on the top 2 tiers & revenue gathered in each month would be far greater than increasing the lower tier.

Imagine the response from UDT...

Still, he could have a T-shirt made: "I complained to NTL and all I got were these bullet wounds".
