Well they may soon
A new range of communications platforms that allow broadband fibre performance to be obtained from conventional copper cabling is now available in the UK from Microtel.
The new Multi-Pair family of products, which offer a scalable family of standards compliant and affordable solutions, are based on a technology known as MetaLoop, developed by Actelis Networks of Fremont, California.

Hopefully when it arrives it will push prices down for everyone and Ntl will have to up the speeds to compete and stay in line with the market |
Requires multiple copper pairs to be bonded, unlikely to be a big residential seller as not many of us can afford several sets of line rental.
Isn't really great shakes either, the ADSL2+ standard (which 24Mbit services are based on) allows multiple pair bonding as standard.
