Re: 300k or 1Meg
300k cablemodem is 64k up, 300k STB is 128k up - another quirk, like the 128/150k being double streamable to 256k.

300k for me - I did some intial workings and monitorings, and the originally assumed 5Gb was possible (I set my daily monitor to 100Mb, target 3Gb/month, allowing for 2Gb for exceptionals) - and on the pattern of alert/no alert, I'd say that I would be within 3Gb, but without much reserve, and I really don't want to have to watch my usage.

Yes, 512k ADSL for a similar price, and with no cap or no lower than 10Gb, would be giving me seriously itchy feet for a move.

I'll hold fire, and see if NTL end up revising the speeds and caps again to counter stronger ADSL offerings.
