Worth remembering that 10Mb/half duplex is capable of speeds way faster than any ntl cable modem or STB is able to deliver at present. The half duplex bit means that you can't send electrical signals in opposite directions at the same time, but this has no effect on being able to send actual data in opposite directions at the same time, the length of time each direction is blocked for is too tiny to notice.
