I thought the coax NTL used wasn't the same stuff you'd get in your average DIY store .. I could be wrong

That's right, without going into too much detail the coax used for satellite is mainly concerned with low loss at a low price.
ntl uses cable that has low loss but more importantly has a higher braid density (Screening). The return path on ntl's network can be subject to ingress by poorly screened cable and badly fitted or inferior connectors.
