I thought that the way things work was that for cable modems a specific config file relating to the individual cable modem model was sent out. (Eg: silver-ambit120.cm or something.) Coudn't ntl send out a gold-pace.cm or a gold-samsung.cm depending on the type of box installed? That way the set top box users would be able to get their 1.5meg.

Just an idea - I have no idea on the technicality of this stuff (other than how tftp sends out specific files to specific mac addresses).
