Indeed Chris.

It has been ntl (and TW) which has broken BT's monopoly and we have all benefitted. A decade ago, for example, BT was charging 12p/minute to make a daytime national telephone call, now they charge 3p/minute. Similarly, offpeak calls from BT were 4p/minute. Now BT charges 5p/hour. None of this would have happened if cable had not appeared and we should all be very grateful!
