Once the BB M upgrades complete all M/L and XL customers will be able to stream SD iPlayer without any issue at all

The BBC SD iPlayer streams are 1.5Mbit. 10Mbit STM drops the download to 2.5Mbit
There is a problem because while they're 1.5Mbit, there's a lot of overhead with iPlayer, especially since they've migrated from WMV to Adobe's tripe. Also, what's to stop BBC increasing the bitrates of their online content in future, so SD is for instance 2Mbit, HD is 10Mbit.
