if they allowed anyone to access it then you would have to pay for it, because you are on the ntl backbone you get it for nothing

It is not free, ntl are a business and they would not spend money on upgrading the newserver (as they did some time ago) if it was free.
It is as you say "part of their service" therefore it follows that we pay for it.
