You appear to be getting confused with ADSL. ADSL 2+ is still affected by distance, but nowhere near as badly as ADSL. ADSL 2+ has been good to me, and I admit, I do live near an exchange. I am perfectly aware that people don't necessarily all get good service on ADSL.
But, the same is true (but for different reasons) on Cable. With ADSL, you get speed problems because of bad network condition, or distance from exchange. With virgin, you get speed problems because of bad network condition or area oversubscription. Not all Cable customers get bad service. I didn't when I had broadband through an STB, and I don't on DTV. Similarly, I don't get bad service on ADSL.
Yet, I know people who havehad problems with both technologies.
So, I am definately not saying ADSL is better, but it is a good alternative.
