Ive had BT phone line + pipex adsl broadband (576k) that ran fine... its a bit slower than my NTL 600K connection

But i think that the reason for that is because BT uses Normal line for phone lines, where as NTL use it for their phone lines but the broadband goes through the cable box and doesnt toutch the phone line at all... just goes underground and you notice the differance because it travels faster through cable than normal phone lines.
