Number one BT has decided yet again to delay ADSL citing lack of demand causing insufficient testing. That's tech-speak for "we're gonna lose revenue here".

Number two both Telewest and NTL are rolling our Cable modems over the next few months. Perhaps someone could enlighten me as to the differences between cable and adsl (other than the tv and telephony services cable also provides)?

I might add that I signed up to BTInternet Wednesday upon their announcement of the free evening calls. Other than their dialup boxes going dead early Wed evening, I've not seen any problems yet. Sure, it's slower than Demon, but still acceptable (4k/sec web, 4-7/8k/sec news). I've not set mail up yet. I have had one or two disconnections, but nothing appalling.

If only BT would allow full unmetered access *sigh*.
