It would cost £2 for the film plus £2 for the extra broadband usage if you used company A. Result is that this sort of pricing structure provides more profit for NTL which can be used for upgrading infrastructure and reducing debt.

didnt make my point as well as i might

as we most likely would buy our films from ntl them limiting how many you can watch seems pointless

and as to buying off other companies it would be better for them to find a way to charge ( for example ) the bbc to stream to ntl customers rather than there being two charges
