Rough guess...
Tis all about Mac Addresses. Your NTL modem has 1, and they're trying to sell you a second for you XBOX. By using a router, you plug the lot in and only have a single MAC address (the original one) and NTL are one the wiser to what your doing.
FWIW, discovered something cool with NTL the otehr day. If you ever unfortunate to get disconnected for non bill paying, just borrow a friend modem and suddenly you back online!!! The joys of Mac Addresses!;)
