Strewth what a palava.

1) You can go AOL just by using your AOL client over your existing connection.
2) I'm confused about the AOL over NTL phone lines, etc. OP claims to be using ADSL over an ntl line, then using AOL with cable modem, I'm a bit lost there

Still no matter.
3) I reckon you're uploading too fast with the ntl 1Mbit. It has a 100k upload, not the 256k upload that AOL 1Mbit has, and uploading at 9kB/s is a bit too close, so you're probably maxing upload which is why you can't download at max speed - drop it to 5kB/s upload and should be fine.
4) Remember though that 1Mbit ntl only has a 3GB/MONTH cap so you'll soon burn that if you're spending loads of time torrenting. You must be paying both AOL and ntl to be switching in between, but I reckon you're better off with AOL to be honest.
