It's just that they haven't said they will do it and there's never been any indication of increasing them at any time in their history (nor have Telewest), so unless they say otherwise we can assume it's not going to happen.
The upload levels seem to be fixed amongst cable companies relating to the donload level. There are supposedly technical reasons, or at least people have posted them before but I can't remember what they are though it was something like it's more difficult to offer > 128 for the 600 package than it is for ADSL. Maybe it's bull, I don't know. Could be down to the limited bandwidth on the upstream channels.
It's worth noting that all UK ISPs used fixed levels (I believe) of 64, 128 & 256 for Asymetric broadband systems (including cable). It's just that in the case of ADSL the 512 packages have upload at 256 instead of 128. At 1Mbps they still have 256 however, just like Cable.
