Indeed ... I thought I understood that the pay-off for the greater speed of ADSL2 is a reduced effective range from the exchange.

You are never going to be able to put twisted copper wire up against coaxial cable and say that the copper is going to win. A good quality cable infrastructure is simply better. It's just physics.

I believe that physical expansion of the UK cable network is years off, but once they eventually get a single, unified company with single, efficient management systems, there will be money available for more cabling.
