I got an AppleTV thing, and I can hire a HD movie off the iTunes web site and I don't have to wait. (Maybe this is the future so maybe download speed is more important than upload speed, its about buying content quickly)
FYI I prefer to hire a movie off iTunes cause I can watch it for 48 hrs, not the poxy 24 hrs VM on-demand offer, but thats another story.
Got to be honest BT have no chance of competing with cable technology.

VM are not the fastest.
Actually upload speed is going to be important as 95% of all current and new services are going the p2p route to save bandwith, this will require you to upload, with a pitterful 1.5mbit upload on the 50mbit package i doubt you'll keep your app open all night/day just to seed back what you downloaded.
There is ALOT of legal HD p2p services coming soon, for which will probably be useless in the UK due to no one actually having good enough upstream.

I am 1.5KM from the exchange and still get 20mbit download (backup line) so you'd be wrong there, wouldnt you?
