NTL ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF VIRGIN'S GORDON MCCALLUM TO ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS

London, September 11th: NTL Incorporated today announces the appointment of
Gordon McCallum to its Board of Directors. The appointment of Mr. McCallum,
who is currently Chief Executive Officer of Virgin Management Ltd., is
effective immediately.

Gordon joined Virgin Management in 1998. He is a member of the Group's
Investment Advisory Committee, and works on all aspects of Virgin Group's
strategy. In particular, he spear-headed Virgin's push into wireless
communications, resulting in the IPO of Virgin Mobile (UK) in 2004. NTL
recently acquired Virgin Mobile in the U.K.

Steve Burch, NTL's Chief Executive Officer, said:

"We are delighted that Gordon McCallum has joined the NTL Board. Gordon
brings with him a wealth of experience and expertise, and his appointment
is another encouraging step towards the full integration of ntl:Telewest
and Virgin Mobile.

Gordon McCallum said:

"I am pleased to have joined the NTL Board. It is an exciting time for all
of us and I am looking forward to playing a full part in ensuring the
future success of the newly merged company."

In light of Mr. McCallum's association with Virgin, his appointment will
cause the Company temporarily to become noncompliant with a listing rule of
the Nasdaq Global Select Market, on which the Company's shares are listed.
The rule requires the Company's Board to be comprised of a majority of
independent directors. The Company intends to resume compliance with this
requirement by the deadline set by Nasdaq, which the Company anticipates
will be December 2006, either by appointment of an additional independent
director or by securing the resignation of an existing director.
