  • hmm think Telewest, are uping their broadband up to 10mb, and bringing in a new digital recording service (like sky +, but supposedly better with 3 tuners)
    so might be worth calling them up an seeing whats coming out soon, an are there any deals for exsisting customers. Calling armed with rival prices would be prudent....

    From my experience you'll have to threaten to leave to get any deals from either TW or NTL. To entice you to stay - they will have to see that they've made some 'money' from you over the past year in extra's they've sold you .... like movies for phone calls. The 3 services for £30 was a little of a loss-leader for them and did'nt make loads of profit.

    On the otherhand - I've been with TW for over 4 years, and have been given 'deals' frequently when I question the prices I'm paying - just today, I've been given caller ID for free for the next 12 months. But thats because they've made a healthy profit from me, and want me to stay !!

    PS - The Teleport service is good, the PVR's (better spec than Sky) are due next year, and the 10mb for £35 is fantastic! The basic phone package is the let-down, but if you use it with 1899 you can make some good savings.

    PPS - Past deals (for me) have included free increase in internet speed for three months (this happened twice), free sky movies (to try to encourange me to upgrade) etc. - again a couple of times, free (limited number of) Front row movies and free digital upgrade from analogue.

    :cool:
