Question Who will downgrade their services?

With the look of ntl raising prices for 1Mb service and no doubt other services like telphone/tv etc who will downgrade their services at all.

Re: Who will downgrade their services?

I usually go between 600/1mb occasionally but theres no chance i'd even think about 1mb at that price... what a rip off.
Seriously doubt the crummy family pack is worth nearly £30, currently trying out freeview and its not to bad for free.

just weighing up costs of bt + 1mb/2mb adsl with freeview

Re: Who will downgrade their services?

To be honest these threads always run around price change time, then you see ppl's attitudes change as the increase gets closer. Some ppl will downgrade that goes without saying most will pay the increased amt!

I will continue with what I have - prices rise - that's a fact of life.

Re: Who will downgrade their services?

At the moment I'm having a serious think about binning the Digi and telco. I hardly use the ntl landline, and I dont think its worth keeping the Digi on seeing as I watch less than 10 hours of tv aweek.

Thought I would miss Kerrang.

True because we have been here before. The problem is some have been here before a little too often !

Re: Who will downgrade their services?

does anyone expect prices to fall??

its a fact of life prices will/must rise i see no reason to downgrade due to price rises

the only question is can i get the same/better service elsewhere for less??

if i can i would have moved before!
