I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are saying, but it seems like you are saying that we can't say NTL are competitors to Bulldog, for example. If this is the case, of course they are competitors.

Just because the format for service delivery is slightly different, the end result is ultimately the same - high speed internet access. saying they are not competitors would be like saying buses and cars are nothing like each other in any way. on the surface it may seem that way, but indeed, they have more in common than not. they both have wheels, both use the roads, both get you from A to B. the list could go on, but in the end, you get to the destination, albeit one does it better than the other.
