Hi everyone,
I've been with NTL for many years. I've never had to phone CS but I had some difficulties when ordering the V+Box. I was given many different pricing, I currently pay £11.50 for TV, £7.50 for Phone & £25.00 for BB. I wanted to reduce the TV to M as I pay for phone this should save me the 11.50? I wanted to change my Pace STB with V+ (which would be £15.00, as I have HD tv I wanted to watch Movies & HD content..not interested anything else).
Anyway I was told that I had to pay £5 extra per month to keep the current box other wise pay £75 for collection!!!!!:shocked:? Why cant the engineer take it back with him for free! This doesnt make sense. I thought installation was free till 28th February. Anyway, one nice CS person said it possible to do it without paying any extra but she put me forward to wrong department. Finally after phoning many times, I got this one guy who said he can do it, He told me my amount on bill will be about £47.00 (I'm assuming VM will not charge £75).
Anyway, They are coming on Thursday for installation!
Q1. Will they install new cable from outside to my house? or use the current cable, which has a splitter in the house feeding the Pace box & Cable modem?
Q2. The existing cable feeds my CableModem and TV. (the signal is weak as the picture freezes sometimes and the EPG lags). What can the engineer do for this? I heard on the forum that they can do somethin in the CAB to increase the signal
Q3. Will everything work before the engineer leaves my home?
What should I do to make sure everything works fine?
Thanks
