There is no point in cable competing their services with widespread availability against a future advance with limited availability at this stage.

When the ADSL ISPs make their promises a reality I'm sure cable will react.

LLU is great if you are in London, however elsewhere its availability is much lower.
I guess you haven't seen the huge thread regarding the discounts ntl are dishing out in response to the TalkTalk deal. Cable is 'kinda' competing against that already and TalkTalk haven't started connecting huge amounts of people yet.

Check this out: http://www.adslguide.org.uk/newsarchive.asp?item=2643

LLU is a lot more available than you think, and rollouts are still being done, virtually all of that rollout outside of London.

Yes due to line lengths DSL can't match cable on a number of lines, however for value and Mbps per £ the formula does change a bit.

BTW why aren't you correcting me on how cable offers lower contention and more consistent speeds, seeing as I directly disagreed?
