512kb is going to 2mb, not 4 as above...

only 1mb is going to 4mb...

From Telewest website:

What is going to happen
We will be making the following changes to your service:

blueyonder broadband - 512k becomes 2Mb

Currently our introductory service runs at up to 512K. This will become up to 2Mb, that's 4x faster at no extra cost.

In addition we are doubling the upstream speed (the speed at which you can attach photos and files to the internet) to up to 256k.

blueyonder broadband complete - 1Mb becomes 4Mb

Our standard service currently has a speed of up to 1Mb. This will become a super-fast up to 4Mb service, that's 4x faster than the current speed at no extra cost.

We are also increasing the upstream speed to up to 384k from 128k.

i think NTL gunna do that aswell
