[N00N00]

Hi could we possibly have a thread for listing details of NTL offers. Obviously this will be useful for new customers and for existing ones wishing to renegiatiate after theri 12 month contract is up.

Best if people only post nationwide offers - eg ones you see online

Here are some i am aware of:

1. Three for £30 (1 meg BB, base pack and phone line)

2. Free off peak calls when you take the basic phoneline PLUS 1 meg BB for only £9.99

3. Free talk unlimted 24 whne you take the base pack

here are the details:

I've found that NTL will generally put you on one of these if you agree to another 12 month tie in.

I've currently got the free telephone line (bundle 1) for a year (with BB and CATV). I was advised I would need to keep BB or CATV for 12 months from the point we negotiated this.

Do you think I would have a chance of getting the Last Bundle you have on your post, I am coming up to the end of my broadband contract, literally less than a few weeks to go.

I would be willing to stay with the broadband for 12 months if I could get that offer

Ring up CS and tell them you want to cancel your contract when it reaches 12 months as you feel you aren't getting the best deal for your money. The odds are you will end up speaking to retentions who may try to change your mind.

Just spoke to retentions and was offered half price broadband as a good will

Did they insist you enter a new 12 month contract?

Just to mention my dad

He called NTL this morning and asked them if there was any discounts he could have for being a long term customer. They are letting him have the base pack tv free for 12months.

edit - and yes he did have to enter into another 12 month contract.

No, it was a rolling contract.

But I have agreed to it and decided to get the Cable TV and Telephone now (12 month contract) but at least I can cancel the broadband at anytime.

Its amazing once NTL speak to you and negiotate NTL deals are very very competitive, i.e. Sky TV £19.50 plus BT line plus broadband for a similar price.

Thanks NOONOO, I just called CS and spoke to a very helpful lady (thanks Nicola) who has reduced my bill by £11 per month for 12 months, the same as the bundle 2 offer for talk 24 users. I did not need to take out a new contract and am still free to cancel anytime.

To be honest I was not expecting this response from NTL and for once they have exceeded my expectations.

Just spoke to NTL retentions department and spoke to someone called Luther. Offered me deal where i get free phone line rental and a loyalty bonus of £8.50 per month. Saving me a total of £19 per month.

I asked at least 3 times if i was entering a new 12 month contract and he confirmed on all 3 occasions that i wasnt and that i could cancel at anytime i wanted.

yeah retentions a couple of years back offered me the family pack for something like £10 a month off which no 12 month contract. when they want to keep you they will come up with an under the counter deal!

I wouldn't advice people to just call to try and squeeze what they can from NTL, in my honest opinion i felt there was better value for money elsewhere, NTL agreed and give me a package which I was happy with.

[spenno_2000]

I rang with the intention of leaving NTL to go to Sky but the guy i spoke to came up with an offer which was too good for me to say no to. Plus im not tied into a 12 month contract.

I can never get retentions CS always tell me go ahead and cancel :/

tried twice in jan time and once yesterday
