Hope this has helped anyones curiosity on the matter.

AFAIK, the £25 admin charge has been dropped
(see here:

Also, there is absolutely no need for a new modem. The existing ntl-supplied standalone cable modems (SACM) already out there will be more than adequate for the new speeds.
However, people who use a Pace set-top box (STB) rather than a SACM for their broadband will require a new Samsung STB if they are going to be on the 2 or 3 meg service. I don't think this will be charged for.
