Office network connections tend to have very different traffic profile from residential services - they tend to not have P2P or Usenet binaries being downloaded on them much
They are at their busiest first thing in the morning, lunchtime and just before the end of office hours and most of that traffic is email and web, unlike residential networks where the difference between the quiet times and the busy times can be far lower due to sustained transfers.
If ntl were to break network down to the point where there were 76 users on a downstream they would have less than 20 users to each 4.4Mbit upstream and could offer probably a good 1Mbit upload with that.
