Mine is 72.99 a month - £876 a year.
24.99 - 600k bb
10.00 - Familiy Pack
5.00 - Disney Channels
15.00 - 2nd STB
18.00 - Base and Unused Telephone line with no options!
Hey - that's nothing.
I was once billed £500 in one month for having had ntl services - apparently, according to their computer, since 1905! :)

Ours used to be similar, but instead of the Disney channels we used to have the OAI at £7.50. Came to a tidy sum of £75.49, or £905.88 a year :disturbd: :disturbd: :shocked:

i think it was meant tongue in cheek , or at least i hope it was ;) , not fair to tar all ntl employees with the same brush :)
Over £1700 per annum.:Yikes:
Family +Sports+movies
2nd STB
Radio Times
600kBB
2nd phone line with TU24 +call barring+voicmail
And I still didn't get the free headphones promised last year when I moved to TU24. (not that I really need them):)

Yeah, it was meant cheekily, not seriously.
Of course not all ntl CS staff are like that... just the ones I have to deal with...
Mine is about £1,350 a year.

I don't think £8.99 would make a big dent in it :D

Ok, at the moment, I got:
Base pack TV (free phone line): £20
Broadband (512k): £25
T.P.Y - £540
Hopefully, I will have soon:
BT Line: £12
ADSL: £25 or
ADSL: £30
T.P.Y - £444 or £504 (depending of what speed I get)
The other option I have is:
BT Line: £12
ADSL: £25 (or £30)
Sky: £40 first month (to get £1 installation), then £20 afterwards.
T.P.Y - £924 or £984 (depending of what speed I get)
Now that I think of it!!!!
We pay a minimum of £82.99 per month. That equates to £995.88 per year!!!
The calculation above is based upon:
Broadband (600k) = £24.99
Family TV Pack = £10.00
Base Pack and Phone Line = £18.00
2nd & 3rd STB = £30.00 (£15 each)
I think we should all be given shares in NTL!! :shocked: :)
:eek: my lot would come to £1427.8 8 (god bless the associate package :tu: )
