Ok so now all customers automatically have their phone number given out if they dont specifically contact NTL to say otherwise? I wonder how many thousands like me will be subject to this and have recieved nothing in the post yet, this might explain why I have had cold calls recently.

Can understand they want to measure amount of traffic each person uses but monitoring type of traffic? I hope they not sniffing traffic.
