VM really do need more capacity for TV to compete with the various UK and European satellite platforms as well as for broadband and other potential services. They could attract far more customers if they could satisfy the needs of European and Asian residents by eliminating the need for a large dish and potentially multiple satellite boxes.
I have fibre delivered to my door by Ocado. Broadband / All-Bran it's all the same to me! Pardon the toilet humour.

Well it's certainly high, but you need to be able to source and consume the data at that speed. And that's the problem. There aren't the applications to use it.
Such as?
On this we agree. No-one would lay cable in bulk these days, but there's plenty of life in the old dog yet.
ps. How's the search going? |
Well what coudl vrigin do with fibre to the home
apart form say 10Gigabit conenctions (i bloody wish), over 2000 channels with at least 300-400 hd channels. they coudl offer SVOD ie a channel where you pay for what you want to watch it quite poplour in america, so they coudl offer maybe 100 off them ( i am gussign you knwo the amount of VOD streams that would need ot be need int eh background ofr this) they could offer a slightly better VOd (but i give oyu this it wont give a great improvement virgin is far ahead with this)
but.... the thing that they coudl do that even blow sky out of the water they coudl nto do it jsut now even on DVB-S2, MPEG4 h264 encoding and with new boxes..... is SHD it been trialed in japan and hte way it was delviered ... fibre to the home (well this case premise because it wa business trial) it needs at least 600mb-1gb connection to do it it very high bandwidth comsumpation i believe compressed it not far off blu-ray uncompressed
