PS: Just noticed that on the samsung, the ipeg version is 1.6.20. Has this changed as I thought it was 1.4 something the other day...?
PSS: Looking at the Telewest channel numbering sheme, it doesn't seem much better than us Bromely people. Wish this upgrade/channel renumumbering would hurry up, taking far too long...

The Samsung box is different from the Pace models, because the CM is completely separate from the TV bit. It's effectively a stand-alone cable modem taht happens to be built into the STB. What I mean is that yes, a Samsung could handle 10meg just as well as any other cable modem.
No idea about iEPG version numbers, but I'm 99% sure it won't have changed unless you've got the new Bromley 3.2 software -- and you'd definitly notice that!
Take it from me, the Telewest numbering system is 110% better. I've used both extensively. Three-digit channel numbers are A Good Thing. Channels arranged in groups by genre is A Good Thing. Having Living TV so far up the line-up is not -- but at least with the NTL favourites system you'd be able to change that.
