Trying to get to have a browse about on this Broadband Plus thing, I figured out that I have to log in, which I did, and it looks jolly nice, with loads of content.

Click on anything at all, and it takes you to "My Account" page, and tells me there is no additional content I can select.

So, go back, click on a.n other link. My Account.

Does this for every single link on the BB Plus page.

I gave up. Or am I doing something wrong??

In Vidzone the videos stop and start all the time which makes them pretty unwatchable. Anyone else experiencing this?

I just tried Broadbandplus, first time in ages, after I logged in it wants me to pay £4.99, isn't it free for 10 meg users anymore ?

It is free for 4MB and 10MB users. You have to log in with your user details on ntlworld first now.

I got an e-mail on the 17th of November about this, saying that you have to log in at the home page now, but also that you can access Broadbandplus from any PC

I have been trying to get onto Broadband Plus again after a few weeks of not using it and the access appears to have changed. I had previously registered and all worked well but now it is asking me to register again and also to pay a fee of £4.99. As a 4Mb user I had thought it was free.

Has anyone actually registered for this and found out what happens to the £4.99 charge? Or, has anyone phoned NTL to ask?

Gawd Blimey Squire.

I have now received an email back from CS - telling me that "no, I do not need to pay for broadband Plus".

If it offers me the option to purchase BB+, use that option, if it does not offer me that option, I have to contact them again.

It does not offer me an option to purchase, just tells me "At this time, there are no additional purchases available "

Email sent.... I'll report back if I ever get a reply!!

Unfortunately, I also think BB+ is a pile of poo too, but I have kids....
I did get an email confirming that the product is free for 4 & 10mb customers, but you do have to go through the process of activating it buy "purchasing" it.

Any bets that I wil actually get billed for it, then have to kick up a stink to get re-imburst?

Quality sales/billing dept at NTL will get it right first time :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
