Re: 18mbps
Maybe its just speculation on capability?

After all, after 'the amount' they spent on the cable network why would they dump it? Would it really be more cost-effective to deploy bb over adsl2+, if not in the long run?

Edit: After reading the 'ntl's network advantage' part it could seem so,

Quote:
��ntl (unlike US Cable and BT) use a "Siamese" cable in the accessnetwork which has both coax (HFC) and copper
��Historically, this architecture has provided ntl with a cost-effective platform for the delivery of broadcast video, traditional telephony and broadband services
��Going forward, this same combination gives ntl the competitive advantage of being able to deploy leading broadband technologies over coax and next generation DSLtechnologies over copper
Historically....Going forward...hmmm
