    I signed up yesterday morning but didn't get an email confirmation. It said someone would contact me within 72 hours to confirm an installation date but should I have received an order confirmation straight away?

    You would need something like this which connects to the cable modem supplied by NTL.
    I have this model and it works fine with my five-year-old NTL cable modem.

    i called them up today to see what was happening about the order i placed online on tuesday morning. they didn't have a record of it so i had to go through it all again on the phone which means i won't get the quidco cashback:(

    also the earliest install date they had for london was friday 19th january

    so if you placed an order online & didn't get immediete email confirmation then call them up as your order probably didn't get through as the guy said you should get immediete confirmation

    hi,
    Anyone succesfully received any e mail from NTL after ordering online? I ordered yesterday and haven't received any confirmation e mail so far. I have rung NTL 3 times and no one seems to know whether my order has gone through. Don't want to lose Quidco money. They say it takes 3-7 days to come up on their system ! Not impressed,after being on the phone for over 30 minutes each time. Anyone can share their experiences?
    thanks

    i think they must have serious issues with online ordering as the guy on the phone said if you don't get immediate email confirmation then that means your order didn't register :(

    Surprise ! I had a call from NTL Engineer today for installation date - 22nd of this month. Hope he turns up. It seems you don't need to get a confirmation e mail!

    If you want all three packages, this works out at £21 per month for broadband, telephone & basic tv!

    http://www.telewest.co.uk/websales/product.do?id=227

    http://home.ntl.com/websales/service.do?id=2

    Offer available until 31st January
    Where do they say you can have all 3 for £21/month ??
    Does this include Free TV Pack ??

    I cannot see any info that says you can have Free TV Pack when you take Broadband.

    NTL/Telewest are doing 3 for £30 deal.

    If you order online through Telewest website you can order 3 for £21/month
    (Free TV, 2Mb Broadband, Talk Weekends).

    If you order online through NTL website you cannot order Free TV with Broadband, as far as I can see.
    Maybe you can do it over the phone, maybe not.

    The lowest tv pack NTL used to have was the Base Pack at £11.50/month.
    They have now added 2 lower TV packs (Free TV Pack, Select TV Pack -£5.50/month), probably due to the NTL/Telewest merger.

    I think NTL don't want to give Free TV with Broadband & will push you onto their 3 for £30/month offer (Select TV Pack, 2Mb Broadband, Talk Weekends), so you are paying for TV (although you get few more channels with Select Pack)

    NTL/Telewest don't give free tv with broadband. They give free tv with a phone line. If you add all 3 products individually to your basket then checkout, it comes up as £25. However after you place your online order, give them a call to say it should be £21 as it is £10 broadband & £11 phone line with free tv & there is a price mistake on the website.

    I found you can get 3 for £21 deal through Telewest website.

    Here's the online quote:
    ====================================================
    Your quote summary
    Before you place your order, please review your chosen services

    Internet £10.00
    broadband Unlimited broadband, up to 2Mb

    Digital TV
    Free TV 36 channels. Inc:- Cbeebies, BBC Three, ITV2 and Sky One.

    Phone £11.00
    Talk Weekends. Unlimited local and national calls at the weekends for up to an hour‡

    Total monthly cost £21.00

    Installation FREE
    Online Discount −£30.00
    Total one off cost −£30.00
    ====================================================

    Can't do same on NTL website & get a quote of Free TV with Broadband.

    But as NTL/Telewest have merged & NTL have just sent out leaflet merging the different companies packages, I think you should be able to phone NTL & ask for this 3 for £21 deal.
