I'm very happy with my connection, but i'd be much happier with 24mbit ADSL2+, and NTL know that. Joe Public doesn't realise that not everyone will get that speed, it's all marketing spin, but if NTL doesn't do anything to keep up, people will leave.

Very true, ADSL 2+ only delivers that sort of speed if you live practically on top of the exchange. But I find it strange that you condemn NTL for marketing spin whilst glossing over it on the part of proponents of ADSL who don't exactly dwell on its limitations.
