Plucked from The Register
	
	The upgrade to its network is due to be completed by the end of 2006.

Bit of a wait then.


	NTL - which is currently busy trying to tie up a merger with Telewest - is 
also currently trialling 20 meg broadband in Chorleywood, Hertfordshire, and 
reckons its network could even support speeds of between 30 meg and 50 meg.

My 2meg NTL does me just fine for now. 
I'm more interested in the tivo/sky+  like box that Telewest are trialling and 
the prospect of a merger with NTL
