Yes, a small problem with some people ready have a go at NTL. BTstill have to get past the disatance limit on the so called "last mile of copper". Like getting 8Mb on ADSL. You got to be close enough to the exchange. If not then you have to settle for a lower speed. Where with NTL it's fiber to the large green boxes (the ones that have whirring fans and backup batteries within) and then coaxial cable for the last few metres, via the smaller green neighourhood boxes, which unfortunatly vandals target thinking they can get free TV if they start swapping over connections.

Luckily where I live this vandalism problem does not manifest itself.
