It is nothing to do with cable modems - the only reseller of NTL CM's is AOL (for their 600k service).

The NTL core network can cope quite happily and is well underused.

NTL's network problems are the local connections onto their core network (i.e CM > UBR). Once you get past this onto the actual network their are no real problems (well, apart from the cache/mail/news servers, but they are not the "network")
