Neither of those are true (nor is guarantee spelt correctly) 25%+ can get the 8Mbit sync speed on ADSL in the UK (actually works out to about 7.15Mbit/s 'real' speed), 85%+ can get
over 2Mbit.
NTL can't guarantee 2Mbit any more than I can guarantee a meteor strike on the Whitehouse today at 6PM, however much I'd like to be able to do that.

Probably, that is what 40GB is after all (fact, International Standards Organisation, etc inform of this. Linux User Groups may dispute it but they are wrong).

Nope CPW will be using MaxDSL to deliver the service, meaning an upload speed of ~ 400kbit/s. When they LLU they may choose to increase this to up to 768kbit/s.

It's free? WTF do you want? Even the £10 a month they want for non-LLU is a great deal. Most LLU @ £10 a month or so is heavily capped, and a tenner a month for 40GB outside of LLU is a steal.
