Its definately true. I was walking through my local shopping centre and there was a guy singing people up. There were big signs stating that you got a free XBOX AND two months free broadband if you signed up to the 600k/1MB service.

You haven't been into the stall at CastleCourt then? The guy told me two months free broadband. I read on here that it was free XBOX live but he said it was free broadband for 60 dayss

I'm just wondering.... when they say a free xbox do they actually mean rented as in STB rental ? The offer sounds too good to be true otherwise. If it is correct, how are NTL making a profit and recovering the initial cost of the xbox itself???

Grrrr.... yet another case of NTL favouring new potential customers, instead of it's existing loyal (but maybe not for much longer..?) clientele

Do you get the Xbox with NTL Freedom services?

Ahhhhhh!! The old 'Installation fee' rip-off..... still got to admit it still fairly good value.

i just tried that web site. It charges me £50 installation fee and then gives me a £50 discount on the installation. Resulting balance being £0

[paulyoung666]

as i am on 1mb already i upgraded to 1mb and it let me do it , i have also made a note of the number it generated for me and it was around 11500 , so if it is true then there are around -1150 x boxes waiting to be picked up , i will give it a couple of days and ring them up , watch this space

edit :- and i have just recieved the automated response saying all the usual stuff about being contacte to arrange , blah blah blah , gonna be fun this

I've recently traded in a 'spare xbox' I had (I've also got a Crystal Xbox) at GAME and got £65 for it.
