A lot of this is about upgrade paths. Faster speeds attract customers and that's good news for BT as they have some pretty cool technology that will, over time, filter through to home users.
Think of it like a razor. I'm pretty sure some R&D department at Gillette has already invented the perfect shaving razor. But we have 'improvements' drip fed to us all the time to make us all ditch the one we're currently using and go and buy the next one that comes out!
