I'm not sure that is as concrete as you imply.
I have seen posts here to different effect, in that they have been allowed to lose the STB & get a SACM, but
have been forced into a new 12 month contract, & other people have had it as you describe with keeping the STB & getting a SACM, yet not being forced into a new contract.
I think it depends on the reason for the change too-if they were swapping from STB BB to SACM because of reliablity issues, then no further charges/contracts should appear, but if you choose to drop STB & ask for SACM, then ntl need to recoup those costs somewhere.
