NTL specify service levels in bitsx1000 or bitsx1,000,000 for services faster than 1Mbit/s, thus

300 = 300,000 bits/sec
750 = 750,000 bits/sec
1.5 = 1,536,000 bits/sec

Divide the figure on the right by 8 to get the maximum bytes of data you should expect per second. Remember that data communication is always done in bits though, it's when it gets to your computer that bytes become important. Also those are *maximum* figures - you won't always get them.
