Hi,
those speeds are fine for a 1 meg connection, but like Druchii says, £24.99 should get you 4Mb/s, these days - trouble is, I don't think a Pace STB can handle it.
As I see it you have two choices, drop to the 1meg tier at £17.99 & save some dosh, or phone NTL & get them to install a stand alone cable modem, so you get the 4Meg you should.
