[QUOTE=TraxData;34575409]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.

Sorry I don't really care about upload speeds. The Apple TV works a treat, and I'm really happy with it and my broadband connection that streams the content.
