If they can't make a profit from the 1gb service they really shouldn't still be in business.
ntl, in common with many other service providers, doesn't make a profit, obscene or otherwise.

I daresay that if you examine a particular product in isolation, there may be a paper profit out of it. But this has to be offset against parts of the business that make a loss.
