Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.

I think they will do this soon to compete with other companies as Fibre gets more widespread from the likes of BT , SKY , TALKTALK etc it would be good buisness for VM to remove traffic management.
I think it will happen sooner rather than later.

Good news. Although I've never experienced it even though I've been watching Netflix via the family Wii, binge-ing on Breaking Bad past seasons every evening via my wifi connection.

Any news on CNN usa or has that rumour died off? It was DS forum wasnt it?

Update:

I have been told by an Virgin Viewer that Turner has been broadcasting CNN HD for months now in their playout rooms in Gt Marlborough St so it's ready to roll when the carriage deals are in place.

If they do increase their speeds it better be across the board and not just for someone using/owning a PS4!

Tiddlers tv

My thought is because it will broadcast on other boxes as well as the TiVo box. The other boxes not able to have apps, so have to give it a channel number...Maybe.
