The situation will not arise where someone switches the power off on a friday night, but if this did happen customers would just go elsewhere, BT would probably suffer coping with demand for extra lines and Sky would have problems meeting demand for dish installations. It would be no great loss for the customer, but however it would be bad for the employees still left at the company.
Business customers wouldn't be affected a great deal, ntl has lost a lot of large customers and there would be no security/defense problems because the likes of ntl and telewest are not trusted with carrying traffic for the critical national infrastructure.
