That's interesting because if it's true they said 'no' for their own competitive advantage - then woudn't they be going against the monopolies and mergers commission which specifically told BT to sell their cable tv assets as they had too much market power? Also they'd be breaking their existing agreement with ntl? If this is right, the question is: has/are ntl doing anything about it? See below..
