It all depends what ntl's strategy is, are they upgrading 3Mbs users first to encourage people on lower tiers to move up, or are they phasing things in gradually to confirm the infrastructure is coping as anticipated.

I imagine a lot of new customers will be joining ntl once the 10Mbs is rolled out, especially those with poor speeds on 8Mbs ADSL.
Christmas will be a big test with VOD available in many areas by then as well, ntl may be contemplating seeing how things go over Christmas before upgrading the lower tiers.

Unlimited tiers will be a low priority as they are only going to be attractive to the type of user that no ISP really wants if the truth be known.
