Actually you missed the 'up to' on the front page of the TalkTalk website as well. Really who cares either, it's virtually free and probably going to be faster than the 4Mbit or 1Mbit that most ntl customers have.
Anyway this rather dull and well used pop at DSL seen about 3 million times from cable fans when discussing DSL in general is not really on topic. Not sure if it was an attempt at humour or not but still never mind, on with the main topic  |
However the technical superiority of the cable line over copper wire is that "up to" applies to most ADSL customers.
With lower contention ratios it is more likely cable customers have closer to the advertised rate.
And it still only applies to ADSL customers if you have a capable exchange.
