Well as I predicted, Telewest are following NTL by increasing their prices the same.  See Telewest's update page here.

Note that it states that calls to 0845/0870 are changing but the .pdf still has the old prices.  I believe they've just not got around to updating this .pdf and when they've done this, their prices will be the same as NTL.

In other words, 10p/min daytime to call an 0870 number - amongst the other price increases.

I also amended the thread title to include 'TW' as well.


TW/NTL must be THE MOST expensive teleco out there

Well this is abit intresting as to what arrived from the postie this morning... letter from NTL about new call rates.

As the link will show it appears as from next year they will be dropping the cost of their call packages but by how much it seams undecided yet, but outside the call rate packages, call rates will be carged @ 3ppm including cable to cable calls.

One intresting thing though is the apparant re-introduction of the 150 (Cust services) & 151 (Faults) numbers which will be free to use.

The small print at the bottom indicates their TalkUnlimited24 will be £10 as it reads, "The saving of £4.00 from the current £14.00 price of TalkUnlimited24..."

This is still more expensive than BT albeit only slightly.  Still no mention of how much, if any, their evening & weekend plan will be reduced.

Question is why are they waiting until next year when right now their prices are so much more expensive than BT, they must have customers leaving them or at the very least moving their landline to BT.

So they've had their fingers burnt with the 0845 customer service number then?  Grin

I complained the last time I had to call them. They responded 'Everyone else does it' to which I replied 'So what. That doesn't make it acceptable!'

Except for cellular companies, THE MOST - double the price per minute of using a BT line and 18185!

After years of ignoring govt. guidelines & RIPPING OFF Council Tax payers using 0845 numbers, Essex County Council changed to 0345 numbers on 2 November 2015
