That depends on how you veiw it, remember even discounting LLU from BT figures BT still wholesale aDSL BB so NTL/Telewest even together are not the largest BB provider in the UK and with LLU even then there is some BT network usage but cut in a much larger way. This is the problem with Cable they have allways looked at commparing against other cable co's. If you want ot compare then compare Cable BB vs aDSL BB and the ratio will be completely different. Anyone with any half a brain doesnt go to BT for aDSL, if ofcom forced the new ntl/telewest cable monopoly to wholesale you would likely find the same would happen to them.
