If the broadband market is as competitive as consensus tells us it is what could happen is firms increasing market share by competing for VoD. So the marketing team would start talking about how unlike company X with us you can view VoD whenever you want in HD quality.

However if companies want to keep their margins the same they won't increase capacity unless net neutrality is compromised and VoD suppliers pay for extra bandwidth themselves, but the end user ends up paying regardless.

But from the sounds of it it seems VM's local network infrastructure just isn't equipped for it. Does anyone know how FTTC would be any better? I'd assume with them they could easily scale up to a gig circuit going into to a cab which is 5x faster than VMs 200mbit pipe.
