I would imagine that 300k customers will not be automatically upgraded because there will be two options open to them, to stay on 300k or upgrade to 1 Mb. The 750k Pace STB customers will not be actively marketed because it will take time to upgrade their equipment to receive the 2 Mb service. I would hazard a guess that 750k Pace customers who do not ask for the upgrade will eventually get it when NTL get round to changing their equipment. There would probably be a very long wait for the upgrades if NTL waited until all customers had the right equipment needed for the new speeds.
