(Why would someone not want the NTL tel line? See the ntl Phone & Dialup forum!)

That's the issue I have. I am forced to pay for a telephone I neither want nor use apart from when my broadband goes down as I will use the ntl line for the dial-=up broadband for my laptop.
I personally feel I am being ripped off by this and being forced to pay neck end of £50 for family and Sky Sports whereas I'd pay less than £40 on Sky, get a load more TV and radio channels, interactive apllications that are remotely useful (news 24i, Sky Newsi, Sky Sportsi) and actually work and get Sky+ for free - all for a tenner less!
