Re: VM reneging on ex-NTL competitive discounts

It wasn't though.

Ntl Customer Relations agents had a habit of adding discounts onto an account that weren't valid

I.E Giving a broadband discount to someone who didn't have broadband, a TV discount to someone who didn't have TV etc.

The older billing systems would allow this (god knows why though)

It is this that they are currently picking up on

Now that all TV and phone (and 90% BB billing) is on a single system these errors can be identified and removed.

Anyone who was on an official ex-ntl value pack, remains on that. In fact, sometimes they actually increase the discount to match the current Virgin Bundle
