[Merged]NTL price increase

ultimate · 29-07-2006, 14:08

I just received a letter from NTL prices are going up for TV packages from 1.9.2006. Am considering reducing to basic pack, may be I'll do it after Christmas.

Mine are staying the same!

ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£18.00 per month!

Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ive had the same letter, it really does make sky's tv package that bit more desireable now espescially with the 6 months skysports free which means it will be 31quid a month cheaper than i am paying now!!!!!!!

ntl's tv packages aren't any more expensive than skys...

I beg to differ there, im currently paying 46 quid going up to 48 on 1st september

for family and all skysports. i can get the same package on sky for 35 quid and thats 17.50 for the first 6 months!!!! how does that work out to ntl being the same price as sky?

Because ntls 48 a month includes a phone line which sky's doesn't?

or maybe because it's a special offer, not the regular tarriff? You cannot compare apples with oranges.

Edit - I've just looked at the Sky website. It's 36 a month with the sports package free for 6 months.

Have you looked at any of ntls deals? Until you do, you can't compare.

Am I correct in thinking that NTL's family pack will be increasing to ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£20.50 all in?

Anyone got any links to the price increase info?

Plus, once your 6 months free is over, it'll cost you ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£43.50 per month if you want to keep the full package...

Yeas i know but that 43.50 is still cheaper than ntl (48 pounds without the movies!!!) and i get sky sports extra and its functionality all of which i dont get with ntl. i dont really use the house phone but i do like my ntl internet its v stable and iv e never had problems.

Well, don't forget that, if you did get Sky, you'd need a BT line for the first 12 months as part of the T&Cs

It doesn't need to be a BT line.

It doesn't need a phone line at all, you'll just have to pay installation fees etc.

Just phone NTL's retentions line
0800 052 9403

Tell them you'll be off to Sky, because of etc etc
And i can almost guarantee that they'll reduce your bills for 3 months, and the NTL CS will probably tell you to call after the 3 months to get it again.

Thats why they are probably upping their prices, because their giving half price deals to every tom, d1ck and harry that phones retentions.
