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.

I think they force their phone line as it is a low cost item to provide and the money used from this is profit which subsides the TV service - especially the cost of providing a Set Top Box 'rent free'. If you want no phone line bundled with the service then expect the price of the TV service to drop by only a small amount - perhaps £2 a month!
