There are a lot less ADSL customers atm so it's not going to be such a problem yet. I know plenty of NTL customers who don't have contention problems, but you can never have a 100% perfect system. Let's remember that ntl have an awful lot of BB customers (800,000+ ?) so if even if only 0.5% of them have a problem at any one time then that is still 4000.
I don't know what ntl's contention ratio is, or even if you can measure it in the same way for cable.
