NTL INCORPORATED APPOINTS NEIL BERKETT AS CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER

NEW YORK and LONDON, 15 August 2005 - NTL Incorporated (NASDAQ: NTLI)
announced today that it has appointed Neil Berkett as Chief Operating
Officer with effect from 26 September, 2005.

Formerly Managing Director, Distribution, of Lloyds TSB Group Plc, Neil
will be responsible for running ntl's day-to-day operations, helping the
Company to become the UK's premier provider of communications and
entertainment services. Neil will report to Simon Duffy, Chief Executive
Officer of ntl, and will be based in the Company's operational headquarters
in Hook, Hampshire. Neil will join ntl's Group Operating Board.

Neil joined Lloyds TSB in 2003 as Managing Director, Distribution,
responsible for the distribution of products across all channels for the
bank with a workforce of some 30,000. During Neil's tenure at Lloyds TSB he
improved customer service significantly in comparison with the company's
competitors, established Distribution as a profit centre, and implemented a
major change program focussed on developing a local market approach to
retail banking.

Prior to his tenure with Lloyds TSB, Neil served as Chief Operating Officer
at Prudential Assurance Company Ltd, where he was responsible for customer
service, business transformation and information technology. At Prudential,
Neil drove the transformation of its UK business including significant
company-wide customer service improvements. He also successfully set up
Prudential's offshore operation in India, from concept to launch.

In 1995, Neil was recruited by St George Bank, Australia's fifth largest
bank, as Head of Retail, responsible for group operations, retail banking,
marketing and product management. During his time at St George, Neil
oversaw the retail business turnaround, successfully creating a customer
focused organisation and launching a highly successful loyalty program that
increased market share.

In 1996 St George merged with Australia's sixth largest bank, Advance Bank.
Neil was appointed Director of Integration reporting directly to the Board
sub committee. Neil's leadership of the integration program enabled the
joint company to exceed its merger targets, maintain its customer service
levels and become one of Australia's leading high street banks.

Simon Duffy, Chief Executive Officer of ntl, said: "I am delighted to
welcome Neil to ntl. He has a strong track record of managing change and
driving operational improvements in highly competitive industries. His
substantial experience in customer-facing organisations will be invaluable
to us as we continue to improve and grow our UK cable business."

Neil Berkett said: "I am very pleased to be joining ntl and excited by the
opportunity. The Company has great prospects and I look forward to working
with an already strong team to capitalize on those opportunities."
