I spoke steve in tech support today after i was on hold for 25 mins. I Explaned that if i had 2 or more downloads going at the same time (I did not say i was using P2P) my connection would come to a crawl I also told him that other people were having the same problems and to check out the forums he then put me on hold to speak to someone else and came back and asked me if I had any P2P on my PC because the samsung has packet sniffing technology.

I counted four users posting on that thread (which is hardly a representative sample itself), and the only one claiming packet sniffing was you.
BBKing is in a position to know what it installed in the boxes (after all, he does roll out the uprades), and I think Bill C is also in a position to know. They both say that the Samsungs do not do this.
TBH, I would believe BBKing. The number of Samsung boxes is a small fraction of the number of Pace boxes, so just blocking p2p on the Samsung boxes would make little difference to the netowkr.
If NTL wanted to introduce P2P blocking technology, it would be far quicker, cheaper and easier to introduce it further up the network, maybe at the UBR level. That way, they would only have to upgrade a few hundred UBRs rather than a million or so STBs (don't know exact figures).
I think that you have possibly been fed bull by the Technician.
