No one used to own NTL:

NTL: merged with Telewest to form NTL: Telewest

The there was a merger between Virgin Mobile, Virgin.net and NTL: Telewest.

Then the new company renamed Virgin Media.

However the business side stayed as NTL:Telewest Business, but this is part of the the Virgin group

In my area the chain was like this:

Telecential -> Comtel -> Cabletel -> ntl - > ntl:telewest -> Virgin Media


Telecential's ground breaking offer at the time was to offer local cable-cable calls free after 6pm. My how the times have changed! :p:

Re: who used to own NTL (virgin media)
 

ntl had two main regions..."Langley" ("original ntl") & "Bromley" (ex-C&W areas, acquired by ntl buying up C&W's cable assets).

The "original ntl" region was itself made from other cable companies being swallowed up by CableTel/NTL (e.g. in my area Anglia Cable & Cambridge Cable became ntl).
