A few questions:
First, does ADSL 2 suffer the same reliability problems ADSL can? I know people on Bulldog (for instance) who never get anywhere near their maximum quoted speed.
Second, How many exchanges are they launching in? According to the site (which, admittedly, may not be up to date), they are currently ready to launch in 50 exchanges. They will launch in Autumn (which could be as much as four months away). How many will they have ready then? I doubt it will be nationwide coverage. As I understand it, NTL will be upgrading the speeds in all areas by the end of the year (for 3 meg customers anyway).
Still, competition is good, and if anyone can pull it off, the guys behind Be can.
