Im not convinced about 8Mb ADSL working for many.

I can bareley get 512kb to work up to speed and I live 3 miles from the exchange.

ADSL Seems great if you live next door to the exchange, but what percentage of people are lucky enough to have that privilage.

DSL TV............mmmmmmmmmmmm........I would be Interested to see what would happen to that if it became mass market. I works pretty well for Homechoice, Kingston but what would happen if 50000 people in a city decided to download a movie? Sureley it would be screwed much the same as when 50000 people decide to download a movie off the net! And again, how many would actually be able to recieve it in a supossedly 'Broadband' area?
