Thankfully now I can keep the cable modem whilst this is going on.

'DK'-What's actually stopping you getting a BT line in? (AFAIK, they charge £75 to connect a 'new' customer)
Either way you will still have an active phone line.
Surely you could get BT to install the line on the proviso that you are only getting it for xDSL (keeping your ntl line in the meantime), & if the BT line then fails their line test as them for your money back?
Surely you've got nothing to lose (I know £75 is a bitter pill to swallow, but if you are that unhappy with ntl, then it would be worth it to find out re xDSL?
