I don't think Ofcom publish breakdowns of individual companies' subs - in fact I'm pretty sure they don't becuase that is where I looked for the figures first. They only break it down by cable vs dsl.
I got the figures from the last publicly available stats direct from the two companies press releases and corporate governance information. BT Yahoo does not take into account the BT subscribers that do not take the added service - I forget what that was called, the one they launched without email, newsgroups etc.
The sum of 600,000 was from the last published ntl figures - any other figure is not in the public domain. Whilst these figures may be somewhat out of date in the case of ntl (published in Sept 03) they are all we can realistically go on. In it they claim in one section, connections of just over 2 million subs, and in a separate section figures of 30% of ntl home subs taking an always on internet connection, hence 600,000.

How dare you question my attitude towards customers - if I had a bad attitude towards customers I wouldn't help as many as I have both through here and through the chat room, last person to accuse me of not caring about customers had several people bend his ear and remind him how much of my free time I spend assisting people through forums and the nthellworld chatroom.

May I point out that the above makes it look like I have questioned what you have said - whilst I know that you have edited your post in response to my previous, it doesn't make it clear that you are not directing your frustrations at me
