Re: Price increase
Just noticed-PAYG Internet price has trebled in price if you use it during the day, & doubled in price if you use it in the evening.

Hmmm ... not sure how they are justifying such a thumping big increase in the price of their 1mb broadband?
Fortunately for me I get away with only paying £1 a month more, as I have 600k BB, base-pack TV and no additional services on my phone.

At worst with Freeview-even if your box blew up every 13 months (just outside guarantee) the most it would cost you would be £50.00 per year.

Where as if your ntl box blew every 13 months it would cost you £0.00 per year.....
I know what I'd rather.. 
Those points aside, I do think the bb price rises are a complete pi$$ take...
Telly and phone are ok for me - I don't pay for the tv anyway, and the mobile call prices have been reduced, which is good.

It still works out cheaper. Anyway the NTL boxe's are more likely to break because there crap.

You cancel your subscription, & get a new one (& a new Sky box)

But you would have paid ntl for less channels for the same money you paid Sky.

But if you had a freeview box (more channels than ntl's base pack) it costs you £50.00 per year (for the box) at most.
With ntl's base pack, you pay 12 x £17.00 per month=£ 204.00 per year. 
[Edit]-£19.00 per month for Base pack=£2 28.00 per year!

More shopping and travel channels, great.... Neil, you know me - do you really think I need any more channels on those two subjects?...

It is, but it keeps the costs down-you can also take out insurance against the box failing-not sure how much it is, about £50.00 I think.

Exactly, I won't be upgrading to 1MB now. That price jump is outragous.

Agreed. The 1meg price rise is too ridiculous for words..... makes me wonder whether there's a reason behind the hike other than just more revenue....
