Im sorry but what a stupid post. Agreed most modern day PCs come with a NIC built in but how could NTL provide a service to people who don't have NICs? I mean who is going to install this NIC in the customers machine because its treading on very dodgy ground ntl engineers opening up customers PCs to install a NIC. What would happen if he broke the machine, who would pay for the repair? So for the average joe bloggs who had no idea about computers and just wants faster internet he would not install a NIC in his computer and would be perfectly happy with USB.

So what NTL have done is perfectly correct providing people with the option of what they want.
