But it will be very soon. We have 100mb now and 200mb is in the works. Full 1080p quality like you would see on a Blu-ray peaks at 50mbps and broadcast quality 1080i I believe peaks at about 15mbps.
So currently VM are essentially the only provider who could support broadcast HD quality streaming, (maybe with the exception of BT Infinity depending where you live) but how long do you think that will last?
I don't see linear TV going anywhere but I see streaming becoming a seriously credible competitor.
