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 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.

No one can make you switch, you take a look at what is on offer from all options and go for the one for you.
I have suggested the 7 day trial idea, you have nothing to lose.
By having sky you dont have to lose out, you can move your telephone provider if you can find a cheaper call plan, the line rental still needs paying, whoever youre with.
Unless things get really aggresive and either ntl or bt offer free line rental for life, a bit like the gas and utility no standing charge idea.
If you need a phone and you want tv I would say get your tv from sky and telephone from another provider, I just dont see the sense in paying for the tv from ntl when you also have to pay a line rental for a none existing item, sorry to say it but its a con, and one they're getting away with until joe and joanne public wake up to the scam.
Let us know what you decide, but I know what way I'd go, I'd give the 7 day trial a go.
