From what I have read here at CF, NTL's 1Mb to 1.5Mb increase *will* also happen for Broadband via Set Top Box (STB) users, as well as for Standalone Cable Modem (SACM) users (unlike Telewest's 1 to 1.5Mb increase).
But, there are apparently "issues" for some people with the current 1Mb STB BB service, so I assume they would also occur for some (upcoming) 1.5Mb STB BB users too. I can't think of any recent threads offhand, but I have seen posts saying that 1Mb BB via a STB is "flaky" etc.
I think NTL give people SACMs if they have a problem with BB using an STB.

In answer to a few questions.
This will be releases "late summer" which is expected to be around July.
This should, unlike telewest, work on STB customers. If not, customers have the option to switch to SACM, although this would tie them into the broadband contract for 12 months.
