'Led to believe' by whom? You are misinterpreting what is available Scrot'.....
No ADSL supplier has ever advertised 8 Meg ADSL for example when the exchange can't even supply it.
It's not as if ntl have ever told a customer they can have something they can't is it?

See above-ntl are notorious for offering things they can't provide-BB in London for example.

But still no one is stating they can give you something they can't m8.

What do you mean by comparable? It isn't the ISPs fault that your exchange hasn't been upgraded, yet with ntl you can only blame them for offering things they know they can't provide (0800 dial up for ex CoCo customers.....?)

If ntl say you can have broadband, you can have it. Any of it.
