Not sure this isn't a little contradictory - says speeds are both 20Mb and 24Mb in the same article - which is correct?

Although of course we all know you practically need to live in your BT exchange to get speeds like that anyway :-)

Either way, this is indicative of the statements they have made about aggressively taking on the big boys now they have done a 5 year deal with Cable & Wireless to unbundle on their network - with technology economics being very different to non unbundled solutions!

BTW is set capped at bras profile of 18000kbps throughput speed as it more likely to get around 17.5Mbps on the 24Mbps. It waste of time really.
