If ntl take up adsl2+ over the short runs from the cab to the home they will be using copper thats been there years rather than decades, they'll also free up mass's of bandwidth on the HFC network which will give unlimited upgrade potential for digital tv. Since all ntl's network will be short runs they should be able to g/tee 24mbit and faster to each customer. But its all down to investment. Ntl have already put their investment in the hfc network and really should look at changing the docsis to get faster speeds from that. In the long run I think you'll see lots of the smaller adsl providers closing or doing what the cable industry did and get bought out and bought out untill you have a large co. with many diff systems and technologies/standards and they will be in the same position as ntl.....
