Sadly I think only the 150k and 600k customers will be really getting a 'free' upgrade. It costs NTL to upgrade the 1mb service as the new samsung boxes have to be installed, it really would be much cheaper and easier to move everyone to a SACM and keep the pace boxes, unless later in business they will need the samsung boxes for some high speed activity on their tv service which I really can't see happening until about 2010 when all analogue services are stopped.
