Does anyone else get redirected to narrowband if they use the BBC news console at www.bbc.co.uk/broadband?

Maybe they turned it off because of the olympic multicasting.

You can only use BBC broadband if your ISP subscribes to it.

I know that NTL subscribe to BBC broadband as that is the ISP I use. From bbc.co.uk:

Why do I need to sign up to a particular service provider to access BBC broadband?
The BBC broadband content is funded by the UK license fee and is only available within the UK. We're working with UK ISPs to help us to do this, but it takes time to talk to every ISP. We have listed the companies who currently offer BBC broadband content and are also talking to many other ISPs not listed.

It used to work. Maybe BT couldn't be bothered to pay anymore.
