Nice speeds/prices from NTL, but I wouldn't consier myself lucky to be in an NTL area. Far from it, it's been nothing but hell an misery. I wish I was in a Telewest area personally (though I'm lucky enough to also be in an area with an excellent ADSL exchange. It even has a LLU service through EasyNet though I went with PlusNet who use BT for ADSL).
I fully expect ADSL prices to drop further in the next 3 to 6 months, plus speed increases. SDSL is also on the increase and dropping rapidly in price. Won't be long before it hits consumer level.

BT haven't offered businesses 3Mbit yet, 4 years after releasing the service, I wouldn't get optimistic about wholesale DSL being all that.
Easynet LLU is for businesses only, unless you can pay a small fortune for a 512k service that is!
BT apparently want to drop wholesale ADSL prices, as even their own BT Retail want to unbundle network because they find the prices distasteful. To say there will be a sudden rush in ADSL to 3, 4 whatever Mbit is as BBK said a little optimistic. BT just don't have the network to do it right now, and that is the same network nearly all the ISPs rely on.
