What's the point in boasting about having cables capable of 100MB/s when my 4Meg service won't go above dial-up speed for 8 or 9 hours each day?

And BT's claim of 8MB being applicable to 7% of the UK... isn't ntl making similar false claims by advertising UPTO 4Meg when the network is obviously not capable of delivering. Might as well advertise a service upto 1 billion trillion gazillion MB/s and then when the complaints come in say "Ah, we didn't promise you would get that speed, we said upto..." which is the reason ntl complained about another service provider's adverts. Pot & kettle?
