    You used to be able to get AOL over NTL broadband, but it was poor value compared to what you got with NTL, not sure if it's still available.

    If you don't want cable broadband, then the only way you can get ADSL broadband is with a BT landline or a line that utilises the BT network.

    Cable broadband comes via co-ax like the TV and is separate from the phone.

    ADSL is run over the phoneline and therefore means you must have a phone line, unlike cable.

    You'd be better off getting a deal from NTL, as they won't want to lose you as a customer.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!
