The company will work with US-based ARRIS for the field trials, using the FlexPath bonding technology in its Cadant C4 CMTS and Touchstone Wideband Modem.
The ultra-speed connection, already commonplace in some parts of Europe and Asia, allows for services such as CCTV, video conferencing, gaming and multicast streaming of multiple HDTV channels.
"We are delighted to have the support of our technology partner ARRIS in order to demonstrate the significant potential of our cable network," said Kevin Baughan, NTL's director of network strategy. "Following a highly successful trial in our labs, we are looking forward to commencing field trials of the ARRIS FlexPath technology in March."
The news comes just days after the operator announced plans to trial a new video download service.
