Oh dear.......
Your statements above are totally incorrect I'm afraid.
The base pack on Sky is (approx) 7 or 8 pounds
cheaper than the equivalent ntl one-that is because ntl bundle their phone line with the service, so you pay an extra £7/£8 or so whether you like it or not.
Also-FYI, Aizad Hussain (MD of ntl Home) told me in person that he hated the sales reps telling people that they get a free phone line as this is misleading!!
It's not 'free', if it were then why are you paying more money per month for the equivalent Sky package?
The most expensive package from Sky (called Sky World Family Pack) is £40.00 per month (details here:
http://www.sky.com/skycom/article/0,...125843,00.html ), the 'equivalent package from ntl is £47.50 (details here:
http://www.ntlhome.com/ntl_tv/premium.html )
From that ntl page I've linked to above.....

Our Family Pack + Sport & Movies pack includes ALL the Family Pack channels plus 15 Sky premium channels and 4 Disney channels. Don't forget that the price INCLUDES your telephone line rental, worth £9.50 per month.

So.....that £47.50 package includes a phone line, but is £7.50 dearer than the closest Sky package.
Not only that, but the ntl £47.50 package has less channels than the £40.00 Sky package-fact.
So, whatever way you look at it Gary, you are wrong saying that the phone line is freee, & the proof is above.
