Lets take a scenario for example:

100 NTL customers in my street subscribe to NTL (TV/Phone only because BB is not available) and pay £25 a month = £2,500 to NTL

100 NTL customers in my street are fed up because they have no BB so they decide to:

1. Quit NTL and go for Sky/BT/ADSL = NTL gets £0 a month

2. Stay with NTL (with a discount for paying for a BT line for ADSL) = NTL gets £1,500 a month

Go figure?

For the cost of maintenance/wages/billing/cs etc etc that is incurred per customer, it would take more than a few months (prob' not til after the discount's finished and the sub has gone elsewhere...) to make any profit from the possible revenue - go figure......
