It has very little to do with the past, and I do try to keep up with technology I am well aware that speeds can be increased, and will be increased all the time.
If you take all the broadcast channels on ntl's current line up and add all the bandwidth together, do you ever think it will fit down a twisted pair designed for audio?
The bottom line to the whole discussion is that ancient twisted pair!
PS: It only takes a couple of hundred watts from my HF amateur radio transmitter to stop my ADSL downloading dead at my house, this just shows how poor the balance is at those sort of frequencies with BT's old twisted pair network. I often wonder if it has the same affect to other ADSL users in the street when I'm using full power.
If it does I guess they just blame the slow provider.
