My comparison of NTL vs Sky seems to work out slightly in favour of NTL in the first year, Sky in subsequent years, assuming that Sky Movies is preferred over the the NTL phone line:
Quote:
1 x NTL Family pack = £29/m
2 x Extra set-top box = £30/m
1 x free phone line
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Total = £59/m
1 x Sky Plus Family pack + Movies 1 = £28/m
2 x Sky Multi-room = £20/m
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Sub Total = £48/m
2 x Sky Multi-room one-off charge @ £99 = £198
Equivalent to £16.50/m one year only.
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Total for the first year = £64.50/m
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Total for subsequent years = £48/m

So it seems that for the first year, Sky+ is £5.50/m more, and the telephone line is substituted for Sky Movies 1. But in subsequent years, the Sky is £11/y less.
NTL has the advantage of offering DSL and a phone line, Sky offers more channels, and better interactive TV.
