Switch congestion has been a big problem for ntl in the past.

They lost a very large prestige business customer in Cardiff because of this problem a few years ago, ntl generally suffer more with switch congestion than BT because they have all their eggs in one basket, BT usually have a greater number of smaller switches spread about.

As theres almost zero budget for upgrades things can only get worse if they keep adding extra customers.
