I just cant see the point in that level of speed as most ADSL lines wont do it due to length or lack of a provider and most users have no need for 24meg.

I'd guess they will do it at some point just so they can advertise it to compete with DSL, we know that DSL is a hit & miss affair for speeds but to the layman it probably hurts NTL's sales that DSL 'seems' faster.
The peering is rubbish or the proxies are, or both - its easy to see when you can compare say a BE connection with an NTL one, speeds are way better on BE, my NTL connection is pretty good as it goes - I get pretty much full whack to UK sites so it isn't local congestion - but USA & Euro sites slow massively from about 3pm onwards, they don't with BE - NTL need to sort out the peering or proxies, but I'm pretty much given up banging my head - so I chill a bit more
