Of course, it has other problems (such as capacity on UBRs), but ADSL could theoretically suffer those as well.

If you believe that is BS, just look at any vaguely technical documentation on ADSL..

Stuart please dont insult me and say I have an agenda.
I am merely questioning VM'S publicity.
They claim that " Copper " has an effect on speed, they claim basically that copper is only used by BT, and that the use of copper is only good for telephone calls.
But then we hear, this is not in the adverts by the way, that around 200m of copper is used in its broadband service.
You believe what you want, dont accuse me of having an agenda.
