It all boils down to conveniance I have already mentioned it before.

NTL as an isp are poor, (transperent proxies, performance all over the place can be real poor in some areas, no product for power users)
NTL as a tv supplier are poor, (again can be great in some areas but other areas are getting a analogue only service reducing in quality each year)
NTL as a phone supplier are average.

Given that you only needed 1 of these 3 things, I think most people would not choose NTL, the reason why NTL are so popular is they supply all these products under 1 name making it easier for people, their is also the problem that some people cannot have BT/SKY due to landlord restrictions, and there only been 1 reseller of NTL broadband (AOL).
