Those numbers are huge. That means I am getting 40*(say mid point of 15) Mb/s of HD content pushed down my cable here. Thats over 600+Mb/s. Then the 100s of SD channels also!

12Mb/s HD on MPEG2 would not be particularly good. H.264 HD is reasonable at those rates, but would still demand more for difficult scenes.
Virgin had at least 27 streams of over 38Mb/s each over 3 years ago so the numbers are feasible.
