You would need the customer to have a min bandwidth of say 2-3mb/s

The UK average is only 3.6mb/s that would leave only 600-1600kb/s free for average Joe.

This is one of the main reasons BT want to deploy FTTC but they are waiting for Ofcom to give them the go ahead for exclusivity so they can offer TV via phone line etc… And no other provider can leech off there investment. (fair in my eyes if BT are footing the £1.5bn bill)
