Ntl/Telewest probably have 2mil or so broadband customers. If the modems cost about £20.00 a pop (rough guess) how much would it cost to replace them all without even factoring in the costs of installing/dispatching them.
It would be the same again for STB's. They could continue to use the Ntl/Telewest branded ones that are refurbished or spend millions to ensure every customer gets a shiny new one.
Generally speaking on the TV if/when if changes to Virgin Cable or whatever I'm sure the EPG will be updated so your mates will see who you have whenever you change a channel.
