Re: 18mbps
the BBC has picked up on this with further clarification.....

Quote:
Even though NTL is a cable company its network also has the copper wires needed to provide ADSL.

One of the issues with the technology is that the speeds it can deliver deteriorates the farther the home is away from the network's access point.

In this, NTL claims an advantage over BT because 95% of the 7.9 million homes its network passes are within 1km of the access point compared to 5% of BT's customers.
