AFAIK - and I used to work in ntl business - but it was a while ago.

Single User is one Public IP Address
Multiple User is several IP addresses (5 leases on the cable modem, a /29 IP subnet with the adsl). They weren't too static either on ADSL if you regraded you lost the IP's and on the cable modem if they resegmented the UBR (moved everyone around so there were less people on each port) then you would also loose them. On the Cable Modem they weren't consecutive either :'( - Just a couple of random leases which you could make (semi as per above) static if you wanted.

I think you could have NAT turned on with the Single user option!

They are probably not going to give a monkeys if you stick your own NAT Router/Firewall behind their Cable Modem on a Single User account.
