Hmmm...Telewest don't offer what
I would call an HD service, AFAIK it's a only couple of channels as Sky are holding on to all of theirs (Sports/Movies etc)

You're referring to the 'up to 16Mb BB' I think Russ, which is only available to people whose exchanges have been unbundled (same as Bulldog/BE)
The difference is that AFAIK anyone that can get Sky BB in some flavour or another.
You may only get the 'basic' 2Mb service, but Sky ADSL is available to everyone.
If you can get ADSL, you can get Sky ADSL, you may not be able to get the 'up to16Mb' DSL from Sky, but you will be able to receive Sky BB.
Can you say the same for ntl's VOD?
