    Chorus isn't an option.

    NTL gives you C4 and UTV which aren't on Sky (UTV should be available through "other channels" in the next few months).

    Sky has more channels, however all the most popular channels are on both, most of the extra channels on Sky are crappy shopping channels etc.

    Sky has generally a better picture and sound quality.

    NTL is generally cheaper, specially if you have multiple TV's, VCR's etc that you want to hook up to it.

    NTL will have more advanced services in the near future such as BB, telephone service, VoD, etc.

    It is 30GB, but NTL are pretty easy going with enforcing the cap.
