Quite agree with you on that one did hear this rumoured a few months ago.
Just think in a few months time we might be able to get BB in a box ADSL from NTL ( or BB in a Bhaji ).
We will then be able to get rid of the STB or SACM bet it will be cheaper than the compdeitors including NTL Home. Knowing NTL they will end up signing up Cable Modem users or STB users
