The problem is that the BBC don't know jack about this sort of thing, and then go and make false statements.
(In the spirit of hoping that they get it right next time, I've just emailed their complaints office...
"I refer to: "Cable companies, such as NTL, have already started rolling out basic broadband speeds of 10Mbps."
It'd be rather nicer if there was a name put to this article, on your website, so I could speak directly with whoever wrote the piece about their (minor, in the scheme of things) error. Clearly, neither the BBC or many of its journalists are satisfied about putting staff names to copy for fear of someone like me finding that you've made a fundamental boo-boo thanks to - plainly - not researching what you're talking about.
As I'm sure you well know, the general public get confused about technology as it is, without your journalists helping them out.
For you information, NTL will begin rolling-out 10Mbps as standard to current 3Mbps users at the end of this year, and to current 1Mbps and 2Mbps users during 2006. Your (wo)man could easily have found this out by quickly searching the internet!
Many thanks for your time.")
