If you take all the broadcast channels on ntl's current line up and add all the bandwidth together, do you ever think it will fit down a twisted pair designed for audio?
The bottom line to the whole discussion is that ancient twisted pair

Did you believe 15 years ago that speeds of 8Mbs could fit down that ancient twisted pair?
Looking at it another way, that twisted pair only has to carry two or three TV channels at the most and in many cases only one. What is at the other end of it is really what matters.
When you look at technological advances you have to think how fast they are coming about and todays impossibility is tomorrows taken for granted.
If you look at what we have today, most of the technology would have been classed as a pipe dream when I was a child.
