Thats because the cable and equipment belongs to NTL/Telewest, they are the same firm now. When you have cable installed you are tied to that cable operator.

Fast24 is an ADSL service so it can only work on a BT phone line. I can't believe they did not check that you could receive the service before selling it you. If you go to most ADSL isp's web pages they are an availability checker for your phone number. Your cable phone number should say you can't get ADSL broadband services.
By the way how did you find your cable, I keep saying I am going to change over but have not got round to it. Partly because my Pipex ADSL has been so reliable for the last 5 or 6 years.
