It wouldn't take too much to convert it, you already have fibre to the cabinet and a short hop of copper to your house so speeds would be better than a BT line. You just need an ADSL interface in the cabinet. The ADSL technology isn't really part of the phone system anyway it just uses the copper line as a physical transport. The exchange/switch is not part of the equation.
Problem is the HFC network is being over worked hence the poor quality DTV pictures. It was only mentioned as a possibility but as most of Ntl's plans amount to nowt it probably won't happen.
