Sorry if I gave that impression, if you check a few pages previous you'll see that I answered this question by explaining that Telewest did a massive resegmentation and upgrade program a couple of years ago before going into bankruptcy protection.
Purely my opinion, but sadly I don't think that the powers that be in ntl are or have accorded the HFC network the respect it deserves, far more so that Telewest due to ntl being a larger company with more and much larger non-HFC networks and interests.
