ADSL 2+ is nothing like as fragile as the doubters like to say. It works, and it's fairly robust. Yes, the speed does reduce as you move further away from the exchange, but it's not a sudden drop to 56k if you're a street away! It gradually reduces over distance.

So not many will get 24Mb (if any). However, a lot of people will be able to get faster than 10Mb. And it's cheaper than NTL. I'll probably give it a try next year, when they enable my exchange (after I've read some reviews of it). It's the upload speed that really appeals to me.

Ã‚Â£25 is probably a sensible price for the NTL 10Mb service. We'll have to wait and see as competition develops.
