Go into some areas Ned and the are cabinets are bursting, mainly the Telco side. Basically they have to wait until a customer disconnects in these cabinets and the new customers can then take that pair. This is what should happen in this case and also they should be charged the offer of 3 for £30:00 even though they can't provide the service for the phone.
Ntl will not upgrade these cabinets for the odd 1 or 2 customers that want to connect when there isn't any spare capacity in the cabs.

If NTL pulled their finger out, they might be able to start providing a VOIP alternative for their own customers. Then we wont need the copper pair at all, and hopefully get rid of the line rental that ensconces itself in the TV package. But at present, the POTS seems to be inexplicably handcuffed to the telly. Good luck!

Thats what most Telco companies will want to aim for, so both the existing copper and CATV cables can both be utilised for VOIP and Digi TV ect, in BT's case it will obviously be the one copper pair to your house.
