Why do ntl charge??

I was just having a browse of Telewest's XBOX site, & came across the following.....

With the blueyonder Dual Connector you will receive a switch and two cables that will allow you to connect your PC and Xbox at the same time. There is a small up-front charge along with a small monthly fee*, for which you will receive everything you need to connect your PC and Xbox at the same time.

*The monthly fee is waived for blueyonder 1 Mb and 2 Mb customers
So how can TW get away with not charging, & yet ntl still do on all their packages?

Yet another reason that ntl are behind TW when it comes to good ideas.

[Edit]-Not only that but TW don't have any of this "It's against our AUP to connect your XBOX or your PS2 to our network unless you pay for a 2nd I.P address at £5.00 per month (soon to be £2.00 PM)"

TW actively encourage you & show you how to use a direct connection to your CM-well done Telewest.
