Also, didn't Telewest say that 50 to 100Mbps was looking like a reality towards the end of 2006?
Who said BT were the best ADSL ISP in the country? I find that hard to believe

Also worth mentioning that BT are subject to restrictions LLU operators aren't.

Telewest can say what they want, I'm not interested in speculation or what could be a reality towards the end of 2006. Until we see a rollout plan for the DOCSIS 3 services I'll consider it vapourware.

Oh and having worked with both DOCSIS and DSL they both have their good points and until DOCSIS 3 is a live proposition DSL still has the speed advantage for short loops, and the advantage of dedicated bandwidth to the DSLAM where DOCSIS is a 100% shared architecture up to uBR.

BTW DSL's distance 'issues' aren't a result of DSL itself just the laws of physics, cable would have similar issues if it weren't for the amplifiers in the network. This could be done for DSL as well but isn't really viable.
