Capped broadband

Might get off my ass and ring ntl to get better deal this week..

Also NTL are apparently trialing throttled/capped torrent usage in some areas, won't affect any of us as i'm sure we all use encryption, but shows they're getting tougher:/

If they do manage to infringe on Torrent usage, just start using newsgroups instead.

Also, NTL will give you the same deal as I got if you pester them I think, since they are all one company now.

£42.50 a month.

10mb internetz (was 4mb)
free evening and weekend calls to local & national numbers (was free at weekends only)
80 tv channels (was roughly half of this)

Also, £10 a month per mobile which gives 300 minutes anytime any network calls, and 300 text messages (was £15 per month each, and we got 50 mins free anytime any network each)

In our scenario (Including the mobile phone packages), we now save £9 a month and get improvements in every area.

Total cost prior to this was £71.50 a month (plus usually a few more quid for phone calls outside the free time/allowances).
New total cost = £62.50 a month, and we probably won't ever get charged for any calls due to a combined 10 hours worth of free calls during the daytime between me and my wife's mobiles, plus the free landline calls at evenings & weekends.

Win I believe.

Definitly one of the better deals ive seen.

Assuming you, ofc, use all the services.
