NTL INCORPORATED ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT TO SELL BROADCAST BUSINESS FOR
(POUND)1.27 BILLION

LONDON, 1 December 2004 - ntl Incorporated (NASDAQ: NTLI) today announced
that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its broadcast
business to a consortium led by Macquarie Communications Infrastructure
Group (MCG) and including Macquarie Bank Limited, Industry Funds Management
(Nominees) Limited and other third party investors for a purchase price of
(pound)1.27 billion. The sale is subject to regulatory approval and is
expected to close in the first quarter of 2005. ntl and the broadcast
business have also entered into certain agreements relating to the
provision of future services.

ntl is currently evaluating alternative uses of the proceeds generated from
the sale. These alternatives include a special dividend to shareholders
and/or stock repurchases, debt repayment and general corporate purposes.
The decision regarding use of proceeds, which will be designed to maximize
shareholder value, will be made after the sale is completed, taking into
account tax, legal and structural considerations.

Simon Duffy, Chief Executive Officer of ntl, said, "We are very pleased to
have agreed the sale of our Broadcast division to MCG on these terms. MCG
has been an excellent owner of a similar business we sold to them in
Australia in 2002 and I am sure that they will prove to be an equally good
owner of our UK Broadcast business. The 2002 transaction has proved to be
highly beneficial to both MCG and ntl and I am confident that the
transaction we are announcing today will prove to be just as successful for
both parties. Going forward, this transaction will enable us to focus on
continuing to grow our core cable and broadband businesses."

satellite, media, public safety communications and other network services

include the leading UK mobile wireless operators, all major commercial
television and radio broadcasters and public safety organizations such as
