I agree Den, but I think the real reason that VM are focusing on fast BB and streaming content being added to Tivo, is that streaming is the way all content will be delivered in the future. For many of us, the future is now and I believe the number who that applies to will grow sooner rather than later.

Yes, at this point in time, unless you have a large family who are all streaming different things, you don't need 100meg BB. But as streaming grows in popularity, 100meg for a family will not be out of order.

Also being able to advertise that you have the fastest BB is a great thing and will attract customers because even though many people may not need it, they want it anyway, even if it's just for 'Bragging Rights'.
I agree with all of this, spot on, Passingbat.

It might be wise for VM to help their subscribers to understand that their focus on broadband and streaming content will actually enhance the viewing experience for their TV customers. A lot of people seem to be getting the message that TV is not a priority or even a consideration for VM in the future, which is clearly not the case.

VM have done wonders in adding channels over this last year and I am very happy for them now to concentrate on streaming more content.
