I would assume 900mill investment could go a long way in removing most congestion on the 10meg service, increase peering particurly in the eu, and give them enough capacity to allow http to be uncached.

Most NTL broadband customers will not notice any problem with their service so why spend a large sum of money upgrading when they could use it to fund buying Virgin. Rebranding NTL as Virgin could attract many new customers which would mean more cash to invest.
I can see a time coming when it would be foolish for NTL to invest in upgrading the present infrastructure. The restrictions that are there at present will probably mean a different means of broadband delivery.
