    I joined NTL yesterday. Had no choice as its rented accom and cant have sattalite. The best I could get was 4 meg broadband, phone line and STANDARD tv package for 36.99 a month. Is this good? Its being installed on Tuesday. Can I ring and ask if they can better it or am I too late?

    Im paying 34.99 or thereabouts for 1meg BB, phone and standard tv package so sounds pretty good to me

    I was on 5 months Half Price Family.

    One month to yet go and offered Refurbished SKY+ for free, does anybody know if it binds me to 12 months contract, if so at what rate. Also if so can I threten to cancel to get Half Price and if they refuse would it cost to cancel, specially within the one month cooling off period.

    Just rang Sky, was on half price family pack for 3 months but they are pretty confusing with charging then crediting back, I have had to query my charges and still don't understand it but anyway it will hopefully clear up for next month. When I rang I asked, seeing as my offer is due to end on Monday could they offer anything else?

    She offered me 6 months half price family with movies at £18.50 but I said did they have any offers for the family pack and she said £10.50 half price again foir 6 months. I don't really watch enough movies but I did think about it, I may ask for that next time :) Happy to have a reduction anyway
    Thanx

    Strange that Sky are offering so many half price deals this week .
    With the football season starting again you'd imagine that their would be an increase in subscriptions to Sky Sports anyway.
  • HI
    I got sky digital box (old one) and watching few free chanel but cannot watch some free chanel. Somebody told me that you need new sky digi card to watch all free chanels. Does it cost me ? if yes any idea how much ?

    Had a couple of tries but did not get offered free sky plus !
    I obviously don't have that sincere cancellation voice. Have noticed that there are loads of cheapSky Plus boxes for sale on EBay, can anyone tell me what is involved in the installation and do you then have to tell SKy and pay extra ?
