What is the SACM and why are you having this rather than STB modem?

Stan is spot on of course. If you had NTL television from a former Cable & Wireless area (Bromley) then the broadband was provided through the set top box. When they increased the speeds from 1MB to 2MB, they swapped my set top box for a Samsung. The other NTL areas (Langley) always had stand alone cable modems. If you order broadband in my area now, they are no longer providing broadband through the set top box, and everyone gets a separate cable modem.
As Stan says, there are limitations with the speeds in the current boxes, and also it's another step to standardise the platforms across the whole company.
