I went for Sky telly vs NTL long ago because NTL took so long over digital TV (anyone remember "coming soon?" ). Years of broken promises, lack of proper widescreen and RGB support (at the time), no interactive, etc. Sky was the easy answer.

I've never regretted it in the slightest.

Now all that's left is NTL phone and Cable modem, and if my switch to a BT line works out and ADSL is a go ahead, then it's bye bye NTL forever (and I can't say I'll be sorry to miss them).

However, NTL TV vs Sky... it's not that much different when you compare on prices and the major channel content. Sky does have hundreds more channels though, but it's mostly junk (though there are some good channels that Sky has and NTL doesn't).

Plus...

Sky have L!veTV now (classic cable channel from CableTel days that NTL single handedly killed off in protest of having to carry it. So now Sky have it ).

Of course NTL vs Sky+ is another matter

For me though it's not whether one is better but the simple fact that Sky is not NTL. That's enough for me

Oh, and in my experience customer service with Sky (and BT) is a million times better than NTLs.
