all these high speeds sound great but I suspect they're useless to the average punter or to put it another way, they'll make no difference - as the sites we access wont support it (at the moment). perhaps NTL are counting on this as their unofficial 'contention' method - ie. give us 10-25meg connections but they are limited/contended by the simple fact the sites we connect to only connect at 2meg.
