I know you cant directly answer this but I guess its fair to say from this that NTL have got more then 76 users per downstream meaning contention on the 10mbit product is higher then it is at current, how much higher only a few people will know. I heard that when the 600kbit service was standard ntl were pretty much running at around 15:1 which is pretty good for a residental service so the price we paying for higher burst speed is lower quality of service ie. higher contention.
