[Gllug] 24Mbps Broadband in London

[Rob Crowther]

I've seen a few articles about this recently (last week in Computing and 
CW I think, more recently I found an old article on the Register where I 
finally found a link to their home page - http://www.bethere.co.uk). 
Trials are apparently going to start in London next month, they're using 
Alcatel kit to provide ADSL2+:

So I'm wondering - is this new technology?  Or merely new to the UK? 
And if the latter, is it therefore fairly safe to try and get in on one 
of the trials considering I'd have to give up a reliable (but, by 
comparison pedestrian) ISP I've been quite happy with for over two years 
now?  I guess I'm the only person who can answer that last question to 
my satisfaction, but I'd be interested to know people's thoughts on the 
likely reliability of the service.
