Phone Over IP solution instead of NTL phoneline

overcharged

Hi Everyone,

I'd appreciate your feedback on whether you think the following is possible if I write to NTL, as I'm unsure how to approach them and what my rights are.

I'm being charged the following by NTL every month:

DIGITAL BASE PACK AND TELEPHONE £22.50
TALK UNLIMITED 24 £14.00
UNLIMITED 2MB £17.99
FULLY ITEMISED BILLING £1.00
TOTAL £55.49

1) I want to retain the 2mb broadband and basic, free television channels (although I could invest in a Freeview box for television if needs be).

2) I want to scrap my one NTL telephone landline completely, and no longer have to pay any line rental charge. From now on, I want to use one Tesco Voice Over IP Phone Line via my 2mb Broadband.

3) Regarding the Tesco Voice Over IP Phone Line, I want to use a really long USB Cable attached to my computer in my bedroom and run it all the way down to the internet phone in my kitchen, so my father doesn't know the difference and can just use the phone in the kitchen as usual, except from now on it will be invisibly connected to the broadband.

What do you think? Is this possible?

Any suggestions very much appreciated as I'm a bit confused, but desperate to reduce my lethal monthly bill.

hurrah

Have you tried a spot of negotiating with them. See:

Thanks hurrah for the thread link. I might just haggle indeed!
