Three words - live with it. There's nothing you can do about the fact that your STB's haven't yet been upgraded and your service won't get faster for another month.

Think about it this way - if STB users had been upgraded first, then all the SACM users (of which there are many more than there are STB users) would say "This isn't fair, I'm paying for a service I don't get, ragh ragh ragh" in exactly the same way as you are. In fact you're only paying £2/month more because NTL were going to put the subscription fee up anyway (or at least that's their official line on it)

Telewest are a much better company by the looks of it, not only did they manage to get all the upgrades done quickly but they also offer a 2mbit (now 3mbit) service, something that NTL is very obviously lacking.
