If the story isn't there (it's an updated page, and there was nothing on the NTL website), then it's about getting a free Xbox when you sign up to NTL broadband. Anyone?

You won't be able to cancel your contract with NTL. It's a contract, there's a mandatory 12 month minimum period. No ifs/buts.
I looked into this, as I'm already on NTL 600K and I wouldn't mind an Xbox. Turns out it's (a) actually £2 more, (b) subject to a £75 "installation fee" and (c) only for use with your Xbox, it seems. So actually, the deal sucks.

Well NTL know that the PS2 online service isn't as popular as Xbox. So why have offers for the lesser product.

Lol, i find this quite funny on the web page with info about the free console it talks about how Xbox live has more than a million subscribers, and it finishs the article saying
"The PlayStation 2 also offers online gaming, via an ethernet adapter"
Talk about a put down.

Well i bet you never had to pay to get broadband installed. And probably still don't if you don't want the xbox. So that's £50 les ntl have to pay towards the xbox.

What about existing customers?

When were they doing that?
I thought Telewest giving away a Live starter kit, Project Gotham 2 and the equipment to link all the stuff up to ya PC was good.
Daaaaaamn, NTL must be desperate.
