I'm referring to the limits quoted on Be*'s website for availability of upload plus. If that's not available then Be*'s standard upload is no better than VM's 50Mb. Having said that I didn't take the possible price differences of 50Mb into account. So Be* may still end up being the better deal.

I was referring to packages available as alternatives to the majority of VM customers to increase upload bandwidth in the very near, 50Mb rolllout-near, future.
As for the price to increase upload significantly, SDSL is around £200 a month unmanaged from most ISP's for a 2Mb/2Mb package. I'm not totally sure how much NTL charge for a leased line but I've seen quotes around the amounts I've stated. Mostly forum posts and nothing better than the 'bloke in the pub' sources which I should of stated in the original post.
