STB 150k is actually 256k *download*.

BB in CWC areas was an extension of the existing STB system, hence STB only. When the time came to do standalones the decision was taken to use the original ntl system alongside the STB one. This took a while to get right, and is rather difficult to maintain, but it *works*, which was the point.

STB launched June 2001 - about mid 2002
SACM launched October/November 2002.
