Surely if NTL own their own network and their customers use their own newserver (thus never leaving their network) then its far cheaper for them than not providing a newsserver and thereby forcing customers to use an external server (Easynews/Giganews/Newshosting etc) and then pulling the bandwidth from outside their network which must cost them more money ?
Even so the data pipes are only so big, so some savings on bandwidth have to made somewhere, can you see NTL putting more pipes in with how much money they've lost?
