I suppose they have to buy bandwidth. The web doesn't stop at NTL's infrastructure. With higher speeds, more bits will be transferred (as people will download more/ use more intensive services). Someone will be charging for the amount of data transferred over the web's backbones (that need infrastructure/maintaining).
