Now if NTL supply the film free but you have to pay £2 for the extra broadband usage that it needs then it costs you the same but ensures that you use NTL rather than company A. 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.

Why are you so obsessed with NTL providing Broadband speed for films for which they get nothing out of?
On some of my posts about Movie Rentals via download you said why should NTL provide me with the bandwidth to download from someone elses movie rentals becuase they will gain nothing out of it....?
My answer to this is becuase NTL are an I.S.P and it is their job to supply the connections to keep up with the speed of the web and future developements and progress.
If they wish to add Movie Rentals to their list of services then fine, but first and foremost they should provide the connection to facilitate it.
They cannot have their fingers in all the pies and I am sure they do not wish to....
