The box you mentioned is an isolator, it runs from the main drop cable in the ETB (brown ior grey box on the outside of you house), if you have no services from NTL then it will not affect you in any way shape or form, and provided you disconnect it properly then it should not cuase NTL any problem either.

Simply open the ETB outside, unscrew the connector in there and remove the wiring and the box from the room it is in and problem solved.

Forget all the T&C's people have mentioned, NTL dont know where the isolator was installed and probably couldnt care less anyway to be honest. If you or another occupant ever has cable installed again, the installer will look, see no isolator and fit one, they are not going to start questioning where the previous one is cause they simply couldnt care less.
