Cable Forum - View Single Post - NTL or SKY

From reading a lot of posts on this subject over the last week or so, I get the following impression....

Right now, SKY is well ahead of NTL in terms of their television service.

But I never realised the BB / phone/ tv deals meant so much to either company... Seems like the "jewel in the crown" as it were... I think in the long run, NTL will wipe the floor with SKY, it's only a matter of time (and frustration for some). NTL's BB and phone services are long established and at the forefront of speed and quality. They only need to sort their TV delivery and SKY will be the ones playing catchup in terms of an ageing BT service.

Come on NTL, make me switch from SKY for TV. In a perfect world, paying just one provider for all 3 services is a nice option, of course enabling discounts. This is where peeps with NTL BB and phone lose out by renting SKY.

Tis a shame. I would like the discount from NTL but above all else, quality > cost unfortunately.
