To be precise "M" when used with bits is 1000 whereas it is 1024 when used with bytes, so:
BT 1Mb £29.99 / 1000 = 0.02999
NTL 1.5Mb £37.99 / 1500 = 0.02533

1Mbit is 1,048,576 bits. i.e. 1024 * 1024.

You say its 1000. I dont know where 1000 comes into it, you're at least 3 zero's short.
Even if it was 1,000,000 bits in a megabit, that would only yield a maximum of 122Kbytes per second, and I get more than that on the 1Mbit service.
The only ppl I know of that classify Mega as 1million exactly is hard-drive manufacturers. I'm pretty sure ntl dont classify it like this.
