You gotta wonder tho whats going on, the exact same thing happened last time, NTL announced first and then wait for months before they start, Telewest announce after and starting it next month.
Also if I read it right the £50 package is been scrapped? so for £35 they get unmetered 10mbit. They are undercutting NTL by £3 and have no caps or proxies. In another industry with such a gap in service and price by different companies one could complaing to trading standards and the offending company would be asked to justify their price, but I suspect in the communications industry they get away with it.

I looked it up a couple of days ago was hard to find but the ambit 120 can do 38meg/sec
Interesting tho is what else I found out.
for docsis2 a ambit 200 or higher is needed, ambit 120 supports some kind of dual mode to do with the docsis the model below it doesnt. I would imagine if docsis 3 got rolled out a newer modem then ambit 200 is needed.
