i was reviewing some of the old threads and i think bringing some of that known info from spider-plant into the thread might spark some interesting tech understanding and chat (50Mbit will be great/stink threads get old real quick).

About 1.2Gbps. (31 multiplexes at 38Mbps each) But that is shared between everyone."

Turn off analogue and switch to QAM256 throughout, and you get around 4Gbps. If that's still not enough, switch to broadcast on demand."
Erm, rumours or not, i was merely referring to a possible solution by using SDV, which i think is being used alot in America, so as we normally follow suit, give it another couple of years and we most likely be using the same technology,(maybe). As for rumoured Broadband TV trial, i know not.
