STM on the 50mb is a rumour, I doubt VM have even set a price for the service, its still in testing. I think its a bit early to judge a service until its actually launched and you have tried it...

Anyway i'm assuming they can differentiate between internet + streaming TV data, and therefore not count the TV 'data' as part of your limit?
Pure guesswork really.. but it would make sense from what i can see.

At the moment the VOD and digital muxes are sent on differing frequencies to the modem D/S. So the D/S for the cable modems wouldn't be affected by this. When the analogue frequencies are removed there will be bags of space to do even more with, and also there will better ways of using the bandwidth to send the Digital/HD content to the customers STB like Switched Digital Video,(SDV) and many others.
