Telewest Bb Is A Con just thought i would let u know that telewest are a friggin skam and advise u not to go with them...they have ripped me and my house mates off loads and the sales man who came round was a lieing ****er eat shit telewest i say! oh has any1 else had trouble with them???
Our set top box has been playing up for a while... my t'internet has been slower than when we first got it too... Not too fussed cos I never watch the shit telly we have and the net still does me ok
firstly when the dude came round he told us that the contract was a minimum of 6 months....a lie.....its actually 12, cos i am a student i will be going home for summer so i will have to pay regardless... secondly we had this deal where for the first month you got all the channels( movies and Sport etc...) free providing you cancelled them a few days before the month was up.. ok.. so i did what the bloke said... obviously there was a set fee of £42.50 when we got the first bill through the fuckers charged us £125. we knew there was a installation fee of 25 quid but thats no where near what they billed us. i rang up to sort it out and they basicly told me a load of balls... harsh!:evil:
We have to cancel ours soon... they told us we could cancel as long as we give them notice, i'm not taking any shit off 'em
you have to pay 2 months rental for your first bill (cos youve had it for a month, and you pay the next month), plus your installation cost. Sounds about right to me....
My telewest BB, at 25 a month, is rock solid: no bandwidth blips and about 1 outage over the 3 years I have had it ( except for at the very beginning, teething problems, 2500 pings etc ) Much, much more stable than my mates ADSLs, and better ping. Shitter U/L rate tho.
just what i was going to say... get the fact straight b3fore signing. Cable broadband is a much better service. that'll teach the tight students try get somert for nowt...
Av never had any problems with Telewest, their BB and TV/Phone service has been spot on to date, i'd recommend them
