I tend to agree that the take-up will be minimum as most SME's cannot justify 10Mbs services. Cost will obviously be an issue, as will availablity especially over longer distances and quality of the copper, although having said that Be have been crafting in announcing their launch is restricted to London, where there is enough fibre to ensure availability.

Yet again the market steers clear of the rural areas. We are still playing rich relation poor relation with these broadband services.

So this 24Mbps ADSL2+ may have limited success in the larger cities but I think that anything more than that is a pipe dream.
