Re: BT or not BT, that is the question
ADSL from a decent LLU provider such as Be on a good line can be pretty good. For gamers it would probably beat most cable connections.

The only reason I moved to cable despite the numerous horror stories I'd seen of poor support and allowing areas to stay massively congested for months on end was a duff line that OpenReach failed to fix after 5 visits. Even with the fault it was delivering 16Mbps but the phone was unusable. I wish I'd thought of VOIP at the time instead of jumping to cable because guess what - I'm now seeing massive congestion on cable. Of course that problem may get fixed in a reasonable time but I'm not holding my breath.
