Those stats don't really mean that much - they are on the cable modem's ethernet port for a start, before the proper throttling takes place, also the burst speed noted is nothing unusual due to the cable methodology.

Sorry but any perceived looseness in the way TW police traffic is just that - perceived. Both companies throttle in exactly the same way and where ntl users are using the surfboard modem they are using exactly the same equipment. Get Dan to do some MRTG graphs based on his cable modem's RF port and DOCSIS up and downstreams and you'll probably see a slightly different story on upstream once it's been through the leaky bucket and rate capping engine.
