Do you think that if I don't pay my bill then telewest would considor as an act of loyalty not disconnecting me?
Yea but can you name any large company that would do different to TW? Its the same everywhere.
Yea i agree Telewests (Internet...) prices should be reduced considering how cheap ADSL ISPS are now offering 512k connections.
But as it is, Telewest's internet side of the business, with regards to service quality, customer support (well when you ring them asking for tech knowledge mainly), they are simply excellent.
Example;
ADSL offering £17/month for 512k.
- 50:1 contention says it all, you look at ALL posts from people using ADSL stating their speed test results from inet servers, they very rarely touch maximum of the 512k mark, if at all.
TW offering £25/month for 512k.
- 1:1 equivelant contention, you look at ALL posts from people using TW stating their speed test results from inet servers, i cant think of anyone with below the specified given speed (512k, 1mb, 2mb), i meen i got average of 2.2mb! (2mb-2.4mb)
The TW £30 512k without other TW service, is just a business strategy, which in all fairness is an ok thing to do.
That coupled with the strategy that TW provide ALL equipment for free to get online, free connection, installation charged either free or £10, or rarely £25.
Compared to ADSL services where "usually" you pay for all equipment, pay for a connection charge, pay for installation.
All in all, with priceing in mind, theres not alot of difference between the two.
I think if TW dropped their prices to match any ADSL providers services, ADSL ISPs would have no business what so ever at all in TW franchised areas.
TW (and NTL) at moment are only staying competitive while they pay off their debts.
Once those debts are cleared, well
