I agree with you slowcoach on that electron microscope comment,so sly when companys do that,most us here probably understand what speeds and capacity mean its the poor newcomers to the net who get burned with false advertising like that,their tv advert is bold white letters on black background advertising the £9.99 price and I'm sure theres no disclaimer saying just for the 1st 1gb downed.I'm actually so glad I stuck to my guns and kept on ntl now.

£9.99 is far from viable and just a price to lure people in and they will pay more once they hit the 1 gig, their will only be 2 categories of users on that. The ones who dont use it which will be profitable and the ones who use it and go voer and ultimately pay more then 9.99.

Abusive ? I'm curious as to how that's abusive.

I see that Bulldog are out and out liars, funny no one commented as they would with ntl

The fixed line rental is charged at £10.50 per month (same as BT), the total of this is not included in our monthly or yearly cost as you need a BT line to get other Broadband providers services

No you don't you liars - there is no BT line in my house, and I have 10 meg broadband.

But Paul

They are not NTL so they can get away with it. However if NTL did it then the same old crew from here would lambast them and scream. "LETS REPORT THEM TO THE ASA"

Mean while the same old crew will be saying i am off to bulldog there grass is greener than NTL's.

But at the end of the day they are still here in there little corner complaining about how bad NTL is and then continuing to use them.

The offer appeared so good at first sight that I almost ordered it even though I can only get max 512k ADSL here.

Could that not be due to this being an NTL forum?

Whilst that may have sounded snotty (can't see why? It had a standard forum humour smiley at the end) to you the rest of the board did not.

I would leave it to the person to whom ignition meant it for to decide if that offended them. I'm sure th'eng was not offended.

funny how quickly other providers are mentioned when it's in the posters favour to do so, Especially if it means they can have a good dig at NTL ?


But as i said before. If the grass is much greener on the other side why are some not moving there ?.

Or is it in the cold light of day NTL are not that BAD after all


Not talking about any one in particular mind you

[Hans Gruber]

Well the reason why Bulldog customers aren't complaining on here is because it is a NTL forum. NTL customers come here, generally if they have a complaint, not with daily "all is well" comments. It's not rocket surgery.

Terrible advertising by bulldog. It equates to £36 a month (assuming you use more than 9gig a month) for less speed than NTL with the added likelyhood you probably won't even be able to get the full 8mb. MMM..pay more for less speed and have to use bulldog as my phone provider...that's a tough one . The ASA really do need to do something about their TV adverts as they are VERY misleading.

Also, from Paul M's reply to Zeph, does that mean 10mb will be going to down to £25? I assumed 10mb (capped) will be at £35 and 2mb (unlimited) will be at £25 or have I missed something.

There is no excuse bar dyslexia for the appauling standard of English seen occasionally on forums. I find it both discourteous and counter-productive to what they're trying to say to use bad English and if they can't be bothered to actually pay attention to what they are typing why should people waste their time sifting through the lack of punctuation / bad spelling / nonsense phrasing. People may well not read the entire post, and bad English frankly can give the impression of being, for want of a better word, a moron/chav/uneducated. Whatever the content articulate posts will tend to get more attention than apparently inarticulate ones.

My 'status' on this site means nothing, I break the rules I get a ban same as everyone else. I have no status last I checked I'm a member like you

Anyway on with the topic.
