Well, how expensive is ADSL in comparison? Fair comparison, I should
add. Britain's ADSL service, only just rolled out, is 512Kbps/256Kbps for
£39.99 a month with a £150 installation charge. That's the "Home
500" service, which seems to be portal-based... some of the more expensive
business plans go up to 2Mbps.

I think the main issue here is the volume charging, which is on the high
side.
