Telewest to fight BT with faster broadband .... BT present lower cost ADSL, so Telewest begin putting together a 1Mb/s offering. I like the idea of that.
Arguments about contention ratios are still rife (see the article), but I've heard that BT's case is based on the final, user tier of the network, and that when you get back a couple of tiers to the WAN pipes, routers and internet backbone links then BT's is worse than cable's. But then I hate BT anyway - they're thieving, conniving, underhand and obstructive tw*+s...... (insert your own rant here), and I like my cable broadband internet, so I might be biased?.....
