Re: Going back to NTL
actually BT's contracts are usually 3 months min.

I agree with Neil, I've not had a problem with them in 6 months, I pay £20 a month and so far thats kept me more or less upto date, (I think I might owe them £10 at the moment but as I pay monthly, they don't worry about that)

and this is based on personal opinion or stats?
A friend of mine had ADSL installed recently after a month of trying BT told him to get NTL as they couldnt get his service working and didnt know why!!  good that they admitted it, but took long enough and why didnt they know what was wrong? I guess the infinite number of monkeys approach wasnt really infinite

Well, you have now. And my billing is fine. Neil, the members on here are not the be all and end all of telecoms customers. And just because you don't hear about it, you can't assume that it doesn't happen. Assume make san ass etc...

You are here: 
) I have spent a long time going on about NTL customer service being crap but bloody BT is just as bad. Paid my first bill on there pay on line paperless billing system, They took the money from my account i printed out the page that says thank you heres your ref number, yet they still insist i havent paid it rang up BT CS and after an hour on hold gave up. I left my details for them to call back and they called back to ask when i am going to pay the bill. So is it possible to go back to NTL i promise not to criricise them ever again.
