It's never been that low...
After refinancing, ntls debt went down to $6bn....I wouldn't have thought it'd changed too much since then.

I think the last results reported that they made a net loss of £564,00 0,000 in Q3 2204.
£5.64 billion

£3bn plus change.

Refinancing
In April 2004, ntl issued £811 million equivalent of new senior notes and entered into a new £2.425 billion senior credit facility, including a £250 million revolving facility which is currently undrawn. Proceeds from the senior note offering, in conjunction with cash on hand and the funding under the new credit facility were used to repay in full the previous senior credit facility and to redeem the outstanding ntl Triangle debentures due 2007 and the Diamond Holdings notes due 2008. As a result of the repayment of ntlââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s previous debt prior to its scheduled maturity, mainly non-cash costs of £162.3 million ($290.1 million) were written off during the second quarter of 2004.
General syndication of the senior credit facility was completed during the second quarter.
During Q2 2004, hedging for exchange risk on the dollar denominated bonds was increased to 75 per cent of the principal value of the senior notes, for five years from issue date. The coupon payments were previously hedged. During the quarter £1.2 billion of floating rate debt was fixed for a period of three years ending April 14, 2007, following which, approximately two thirds of the total outstanding debt is now at a fixed rate.
Edit damn 2 mins too late, should have visited the front page, not ntl investor relations.

They borrowed spent an awful lot of money buying companies up in the late 90's, only for the telecoms market to suffer a major down turn.
Yes, they did also give away free dial up internet for ages...

Re: How Much Debt Are NTL In?
Hmm, dont any of you think NTL would close down soon? Look how much free internet they're giving away too, like 60 days and stuff like that?

TBH, if a house is already cabled, giving away services for trial periods doesn't cost that much....
No, they won't close down - too many assets (customer base, network etc).
They might merge with Telewest though.

Re: How Much Debt Are NTL In?
didn't ntl make an operating profit in the last financial year? first time since chapter 11 IIRC?
I am 100% sure that ntl will not close down soon.

"operating Profit" yes.
Which shows the company is now being run leaner than ever. The main reason for this "operating profit" is a reduction in overheads and maintenance costs.
Expect more cuts

ntl make plenty of money from these deals. like the BOGOF (i.e. free dtv with talk unlimited 24). when they bundle, install costs dramatically go down, then it only takes 11-13 months to pay off the install costs incured! that's why dtv is bundled with dtv. because by itself dtv takes over 40 months to pay for install and equipment costs!! but with phone line, it takes only 12 months!
ntl make plently of money! (60% profit margin on dtv services! - non premium)
just, it costs a lot to run everything and pay off debt interest.
