A lot of operators are skirting around this and trying to find ways in which their deals are better. Yes it would be £36 a month for Sky basic and this package, BUT ntl's £30 a month deal doesn't include free phone calls to the UK and several international destinations.
If you use VoIP or mobile and don't use the landline then potentially ntl could be cheaper for sure, however most still use the phone here and there, and for anyone with a landline call bill over £6 a month or who likes the extra channels that the Sky basic pack comes with over the ntl basic pack it's a better deal.

Value isnââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t just about price and we have become the UKââ‚ ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s biggest broadband provider by offering quality and reliability

Haha. Nothing at all to do with price and bundling services. Due to the requirement for a BT landline ntl's a la carte broadband services can be very cheap for those who don't want a landline. No-one in their right mind can describe ntl as being exceptionally high quality or reliability, they are a pile high and sell cheap mass-market broadband provider, for whom cutting corners to reduce costs at the expense of the customer experience is far from unknown (transparent proxies anyone?).
