Do you seriously believe ntl are making obscene profits?

They aren't making any profits at all.

And quite apart from that, you have to factor other costs in like labour, overheads, etc.

You're not one of these people who sees a tin of beans in a supermarket for 50p, finds out that the cost of the ingredients is 5p, and then assumes the supermarket is making 45p profit? Because business isn't that simple.

Why don't you write to Simon Duffy and tell HIM how much profit he 'must be making'?
