Where's the choice there? You want SSE or SS interactive, you have to get Sky.
There's a difference between Sky protecting their investment that they have ploughed millions into via development, & ntl forcing their phone line on DTV customers just because they know it's pretty much inferior to BT's in every way.

If ntl didn't force their phone lines on customers somewhere, no one would take them, as invariably the BT lines are superior due to the features that they are pretty much guaranteed to offer, as opposed to ntl's hit & miss affair of what they do/don't, offer & in what region-CLI being a good example.
