BBC actually
say it's 3.2 Mbit
That meant using H.264 and an encoding bitrate of 3Mbps or greater (we actually settled on 3.2Mbps as our preferred HD bitrate). However, since many people won't have an internet connection that can stream 3.2Mbps reliably, we wanted to make HD available for download as well.

But you used SD as an example earlier for 10MB that wouldn't be affected.

Yes I did. I was trying point out that for the majority of people on Virgin - who are on M or L - then streaming from the iPlayer won't be affected because the majority of content is in SD - at 1.5Mbit when their STM download will be 2.5Mbit
Not everyone is going to be able to stream the HD
