As far as BT taking the credit for the UK becoming broadbanded-up, and any talk of "Egg on face" for NTL, it's all just marketing (blimey, I'm starting to spot a running theme in my posts!)...

... For the avarage non-user they're as likely to believe BTs ads for supplying the UK with broadband as anything else. Well done on BTs part for spinning it to their advantage...

... As for NTL's egg on face, I very much doubt they'll get much of a backlash - if any. Those who are more Au fait with NTL like the members of cableforum will naturally smell a rat, however the general ntl using public won't give two hoots - they're getting a lower bill!

Combine that with a speed increase (lets hope they keep to that now prices are ocming down) and they're laughing - IF they can market it and sell it right.
