I'm no expert, but this sounds very, very unlikely. I have a BT and NTL line. They are physically separate things. The NTL line goes underground to their cabinet, and the BT line goes to a pole over the road (and then to the BT exchange). How would your NTL line connect your modem to the TalkTalk gear at the BT exchange?

I guess the TalkTalk rep probably thought you have another LLU company supplying your phone, e.g. Bulldog, via the BT line. They're probably as well trained as the NTL staff.
