Not necessarily overly high. Where I work, I saw some figures on network usage. 80% of network resources were used by around 10% of the users. I can well believe those figures scale up to 67% of national network use. Incidentally, that 67% figure appears to have come from Ignition, but he was talking about the average ISP. NTL's actual figures are probably different.

But, assuming the figures are correct, surely you have to admit that 5% of the users using 67% of resources is not economically viable for NTL (or any company)?
