One point several people here appear to be missing.

Yes, ADSL can theoretically go up to 8 Meg assuming the exchange has been unbundled and you have a good connection to it that is less than 2Km long. Yes, Power lines can carry 2 Meg Up & down, assuming there are few people attached to your connection point, and you live within 200 metres of it.

However, these technologies can only deliver the high speeds to a few people.

NTL are making the increased broadband speeds available to EVERYONE who can get broadband, not just those near an unbundled exchange or their local power substation.
