Well any calls to NTL that are not on freephone numbers generate income for NTL. As for the rest, if calls to CS causes the costs and impact you are implying then NTL would first be best of fixing their mail servers, their news servers and avoiding things like the balls up 'enforced use of dialer sw' on offnet dial up customers.

A last analogy for you :

I was on the M1 the other day and was involved in a massive traffic jam. The eventual cause I found to be a very large lorry spanning two lanes with a police escort and travelling very slow. That one lorry was solely responsible for the congestion.
As I have already explained , in terms of the way I was using the analogy (car size = connection size) NTL do not allow lorries onto their network at all.

Oh all right I will accept that a single user can cause congestion greater than the size of their connection - by going out and cutting the main cable from the street cabinet to the UBR. There, happy now ?
