True I'm not convinced that, at face value it's that attractive an offer, even now without talk unlimited my ntl phone bill works on a simple 3 (daytime) 2 (evenings) 1 (weekend) price plan with distance irrelevant - indeed I think at one stage some local calls to ntl numbers were free - but that may have stopped now (at least that's how I think it works). I suspect the big advantage will be for international calls (but then you can get cheap rate diallers anyway (or do those not worrk on ntl lines?).
Looks like telewest have got their act together on this, and don't really see it as a threat:

I like the quote in that article:

NTL has chosen not to comment until it has had time to investigate the offer.
