I am rather confused at this because by and large NTL and Sky usually have similar packages for the same price. The basic difference is that NTL insist on you having a telephone line with the TV package and charge £9.50 for this in the package charge. The telephone line is not free as some like to make out. Sky do have more channels in their packages, but not more premium channels. NTL are a ripoff in the telephone charges, mainly due to the 5p connection charge unlike BT which has a 5p minimum charge and other providers who have a lower connection charge or minimum charge. NTL for the moment are £2 cheaper on the TV packages as they have not as yet implemented the price increase that Sky introduced at the start of January.
