Think about all those thousand of STB users who only want their current 300k service or the 1Mb upgrade. They can have those speeds with their Pace boxes and it hasn't cost NTL anything for an unneeded CM which would have cost a 3 figure sum if provided initially.

And when ntl in the future once again increase their speeds to match their competition?... All PACE STB's will need replacing now or at least soon.
NTL started with a users paying for cable modems or renting them, ntl only changed their policy to entice new customers from dial-up and BT.
