I wonder if it had something to do with the famously crud cable network which NTL inherited and was frequently the source of complaints on the original version of this forum.

That was the old Videotron network that was part of Cable&Wireless, before it was then acquired by ntl. Back then only a basic digital service was possible, no interactive or on demand so the cable boxes were stuck on an old software verson with internal modems that couldn't be used. It wasn't until around 200 when that network was finally upgraded.
