What you and others are saying is :-
1. NTL care nothing for Innovation and supplying additional services

They would only care about it if they thought they could make a profit out of it.

NTL have no duty of service to the customer (unlike BT who do because it is forced on them by OFCOM but wish they did not), however they do have a duty to their shareholders to maximise profits. If their shareholders thought that NTL was not doing this they would have the right to force them to.

I doubt that NTL have been 'got at' in the way you imply. However, as large banks and corporate institutions probably make up 90% of NTL's shareholders they will have been 'got at' to make sure they have the best profit margin.
