What would you rather ntl do, say nothing and let your house burn down
Of course if there is an issue you're right, they need to react quickly. However it is pointing to an issue with the installation rather than the kit, which doesn't really help their case.

Tellabs expresses confidence in CABLESPANÂÂÂà ‚® product

Naperville, Ill. †“ Tellabs today issued the following statement in response to news stories on its CABLESPAN product:
"Tellabs is confident that our CABLESPAN units are safe when properly installed. Since 1998, our customers have deployed almost 600,000 indoor service units around the world. CABLESPAN equipment was rigorously tested and certified for safety prior to deployment.

"ntl, a cable operator in Ireland, recently informed Tellabs of two isolated incidents involving potential health and safety issues. On receiving this information, Tellabs retained an eminent independent engineering consultant who indicates, based on the evidence available, that the probable cause of these incidents was improper installation of the equipment. We are continuing to work with ntl to determine the exact cause of the incidents."
