It wasn't purely for that reason. When BB was in its infancy and NTL wanted to offer a new budget tier below what was their standard 512k they tried 128k. At the time it was a massive step up from 56k because back then literally everyone was on dialup unless you were on NTL 512k. The regulators said 128k wasn't classed as broadband and needed to be faster so NTL made it 150k
