Nobody forced them to release the information. The only reason they did so was to keep customers from going elsewhere when it looked like BT and other DSL providers would be be releasing a higher speed product and grabbing all the headlines at the same time.

I pretty much expect this not to be rolled out till BT actually come close to catching up. Afterall, why stress the network until they need to. This will probably be good for NTL overall since they will have more capacity than needed and so hopefully mean happier customers and Marge gets to a have a slightly less stressful day :p . One day NTL will learn that quality > quantity.
