It's hard to compare ntl cable to ADSL
per se, because there are many DSL providers out there, with a range of prices & levels of customer service.
The best thing you can do, is head over to
www.adslguide.org.uk & click on the compare link, where you can compare the big ISPs for reliabilty, customer service etc.
FYI-I just did a test comparing Bulldog/Pipex/Zen/Nildram, & ntl came out pretty much bottom/on a par with Bulldog DSL.
