At the time, NTL rates had become uncompetitive so it was fairly understandable why NTL would offer a market-matching rate, rather than an exceptional deal for an individual customer.
a bill would only prove they allowed the offer to exist for the past, it won't say it was a never ending deal or how long it lasted or if they could cancel it whenever. As Stuart said, if you want a legal contract it has to be in writing at least, a verbal one doesn't exist in the eyes of the courts.
