.

What I find amazing is that they expect 1 billion views of VOD / Catchup this year on top of the broadband and linear over the system.

Add to that the extra usage from more HD channels, more HD on VOD and Tivo using its BB connection etc and they can't be short of bandwidth.

It must help a lot that they switched to IPTV by upgrading to a single headend with new routers etc from Cisco.

Add to that the bandwidth freed up by switching to Docssis 3 and closing analogue and they must have plenty to spare.......
