I'm impressed - I think it's a nice kick up ADSL's backside - it should drive down the wholesale costs of ADSL and/or increase the bandwidth BT offers via ADSL.

I suspect it wont be long before bandwidth is irrelevant as download rates increase to the max needed by the average punter - until we start getting applications which need all this bandwidth such as downloadable film rentals.

the £25 charge is just a silly distraction from the main headline which is that broadband has just taken another major step forward.

as for the 30gb/40gb limits - isnt that similar to the current 1gb guideline?
probably enough for most people for the current internet usage.
