You use the SD as an example and say there won't be a problem.
You say that STM drops a users speed down to 2.5Mbit. A HD stream is 3.5Mbit. what was the speed of the 10Mbit before it was STMd?
Yes I know. Where in the marketing for Virgin's BBI service does it say that anything below 50Mbit is suitable for HD?

The BBC not everyone will be able to stream HD. That is why they have the iPlayer Download manager
