Perhaps we should have been complaining that both cablecos were charging £25 for a product, but with ntl it got you 2Mbit and Telewest just 1?
Also to cross post ntl have 50% more on-net customers yet potentially over twice as much bandwidth and twice as many uBRs, a good proportion of which run EuroDOCSIS which delivers more bandwidth than the DOCSIS TW use.

I looked it up a couple of days ago was hard to find but the ambit 120 can do 38meg/sec
Interesting tho is what else I found out.
for docsis2 a ambit 200 or higher is needed, ambit 120 supports some kind of dual mode to do with the docsis the model below it doesnt. I would imagine if docsis 3 got rolled out a newer modem then ambit 200 is needed.

Not quite sure what your obsession with which DOCSIS standard is deployed is, all the standards are backwards compatible and DOCSIS 2 doesn't offer any downstream increase over DOCSIS 1/1.1 anyway.
All modems can be portrayed as doing 38Mbps on the RF interface, the 120 can actually deal with 51Mbit/s channel, doesn't mean it wouldn't choke if you stuffed that much IP traffic at it, that's a lot of packets per second potentially.
