Better to take a bit of time & get speeds of 8 mb with more regular peaks of 10mb

It's not quite that simple though, because ntl are such a big company they have to supply these new services to a lot more people that most other companies. So their upgrades take longer, and have to be planned further in advance. Maybe even though they knew the current trend in speed increases, they still didn't have enough time to roll it out in line with the competition, so they had to say they could anyway, then rush it out as quickly as possible.
