Welcome to the forum.......
Dont you think we should add NTL onto the vote seeing as Telewest and NTL are one just to see a comparison?.

So your choice would be Telewest v Sky or NTL v Sky. Anyway, they have now merged anyway or the merger is about to be finalised, so soon to be one company - ntl:Telewest.

you're choice of cable provider will be either ntl or telewest, not both. That will depend on the area you are in. You might possibly be in an area where you can get neither.

Bear in mind that the cable cos usually require you to have a bundled pohone line with your TV service. Do you want / need that - might point you to sky. Overall the sky TV services tend to be more innovative, calbe services perhaps better value once you are considering taking the triple options of TV, phone and boradband.

By the time sky do 16meg broadband speeds, ntl/telewest are bound to have a similar offering, it's the one area where thay are keeping pace with their competitors, and occasionally even manage to take a lead.
