I think overall, yes, they are pretty good.
TV: Technically it's inferior to Sky but it depends how many bells and whistles you want. Mine does the job. Video On Demand (VOD) is being rolled out too, a great feature. My TV service rarely goes wrong.
Phone: Generally ntl provide a good *basic* phone service. If you start wanting stuff like caller display though you can struggle depending on area. My telephone service has never gone down.
Broadband: I've had ntl broadband since 2000. It's generally completely brilliant. I realise, again, that some areas have more trouble than others depending on the network, but generally it is good. I had a couple of minor wobbles last month after the upgrade to 4mb but it has now stabilised again, and I have to say the amount of downtime I have had in nearly seven years has been miniscule.
For broadband I always have a gut instinct that if you have cable as an option it is invariably the better one.
