Exactly!
NTL have a problem in that their broadband products are becoming less competitive. To move to ADSL means the NTL customer has to get a BT line so they don't need the NTL line especially as BT are offering cheaper call packages than NTL and other suppliers through a BT line can be even cheaper. That only leaves the TV package which is £9.50 dearer with NTL than with Sky if you use the BT line for calls rather than the NTL line.
