I do not have Broadband yet. I phoned Telewest to tell them i was
switching to a BT line so I could get UK Online for £9.99
Telewest matched it for 12 months on a 12 month contract.

normally £14.99 or £17.99 for existing customers

Got 1Mb for £14.99 on restricted download 1Gb. Was told that capacity limit is not currently enforced and there would be no problem if I go over the limit anyway from time to time.

I'm currently on 2Mb Telewest and paying £35 per month. Also have phone line @ £10 and Starter TV Package @ £5.50 so I guess I should give em a ring.

dealseeker - Did they tell you your 1Mb was restricted because of the price reduction - I couldn't do with d/l caps, I probably d/l 30gig+ per week.

DO I assume that you have been with them for a while or was the offer part of a sweetener to encourage you to join them?

I have been offered the starter plus 512k connection for £15 which is standard deal with them at the moment and would prefer the 1mb conneciton if I could get it but as I don't have anything yet I was wondering whether they would do any special deals if i join,

W1zz, I'd definately give them a call. They knocked £10 off my monthly £35 2MB when I threatened to move to Bulldog. I know that I'm far too far away from our exchange to get anything above 1Mbit but they don't know that! :cool:

WOO HOO just got through to telewest eventually to the right person and got my 2 meg reduced to £19.50 from £35.00 for 3 months ! :j

Yes I have been with them for more than 12 months. Any new rates they offer are valid for the next 12 months but its not a new contract and you could choose to leave at any time. Hence, they pull out the stops if they think you might leave.
