Just because the best is available doesn't always mean it should be implemented across the board... especially when the kind of costs we're talking about would become an issue.
Most likely it will only be changed in circumstances where the existing box is proven to be defective or where an existing Pace box has to be changed because the customer has upgraded to a speed over 1.5 MB.

I currently am on the 750k service & have a Pace box, which works fine but plan to pay the £25, pay the same monthly rental (24.99)_and get the 2MB service. It seems likely that I will get a Samsung box legitimately under those circumstances as the Pace box cannot provide the required service.

It may well be that for services under 1MB the time will come when NTL will only supply replacement Pace boxes as some customers will be happy with that level of service.
