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.

not EVERYONE - only people lucky enough to be in an NTL area.

everyone else will be left in the dark ages of broadband! either stuck with dial up or slow ADSL connections!
