True, NTL are not responsible for what their customers do with the service. Does that mean they should be using an illegal action as an example of why you should subscribe to their service?
What if Royal Mail printed an advert that said "x thousand hard porn films are imported into the UK every day. <<insert name of popular illegal film>> is available to buy from the US. Send your mail by Royal Mail"? Under your analogy, is that any different from what NTL are doing? If Royal Mail did produce such an advert and your ordered an illegal film, would you think it fair if Royal Mail then sent you a letter saying they'd confiscated the film? How would this be any different from NTL sending copyright infringement cease-and-desist letters?
