Broadband Plus (FREE)

JediMaster · 29-01-2004, 12:57

Just had a NICE chap from NTL ringing me up. He said I could get Broadband Plus free for 3 Months. But because I am on 150KB they will give me 600KB free for 1 month.

(Sorry if this has already been posted) But I am new here. (lol)

Cheers NTL

Hi, JediMaster, & Welcome to nthw.

Sounds like a ploy to get you to upgrade to 600k to me, as I though BB + was free to everyone for the first 3 months anyway?

I suppose you could say that it was a ploy but because of the content in BB+ it would not work well, if at all, on the 150k hence the reason it is only offered with 600k or 1mb .

I wasn't knocking ntl Macca, I totally understand what they are doing, & why they are doing it.

Exactly, so think how much time this will save you.

Never thought you were so no offence taken at all, was just trying to explain to others why it is only available to 600k or 1mb customers.

ROFL...

Well free 600KB upgrade is not bad. I will of course CANCEL at 29 days..

The only SNAG is, NTL cant find my Modem details... (This happened 16 months ago. NTL had my details mixed up with another member). Oh well, Good old NTL

The problem is though 'JM', is that you won't want to go back to 150k after experiencing 600k (& this of course, is what ntl are hoping for)

I see what you are saying. But I would still be happy to go back to my 64KB @ ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£6 PCM. I dont use any P2P (full of Virus & stuff) so I cant see the point of having 600KB or 1MB with the way the internet is going (Fines for getting Illegal MP3 & Vids)

Thats my 2p worth. I do like a fast speed for webdesign & stuff. But I am in NO rush. Can wait another 30 min for a few files I send.

Will enjoy the 600KB (if NTL can find my account) for FREE & see how it goes.

JediMaster · 29-01-2004, 15:57

Anyone here want a FREE upgrade:

150 -> 600
600 -> 1MB

Free for 1 month...

PM me & Use the Force!

OOpps: Was this Thread posted in the WRONG topic?
