Re: Virgin Media announces 50mb lines from next year.
The fact that HD tv will be streamed through the 50mb service makes it unlikely that 50mb would be stm'd.

VM will sell 50mb for a premium price and offering hd channels (we know of at least one confirmed hd channel so far - Voom) is the sweetener to sell the vm service. No point watching hd on this service at 8pm, if, all of a sudden, the speed is cut.

I don't think anything is set in stone with regards to the 50mb service, apart from a rough rollout schedule. (Which, in itself, is dependent on the supply of docsis 3 modems.) What speed and for what price and what extras you get get, will be finalised much closer to the first full rollout.
