Why do you think Sky in Italy won’t be offering UHD on the IP product at launch? Irrational fear of IP? You accuse me of being argumentative but even when Old Boy and I broadly agree you come along to argue the toss over nothing.
Sorry, jfman, but try as I may not to disagree with you, I have to say that you are approaching this from a very extreme and negative angle.

As I would see it, Sky would verify the type of broadband that the customer had prior to installation. The customer would be told about the minimum speeds necessary to support UHD. If problems materialised down the line, and the issue was the internet speeds then the customer would be advised to get a different broadband package, if available.

If, for reasons of cost or availability in the area, nothing could be done about the broadband speed, the customer would be advised that the UHD facility would be cut off, it would now be HD only and a lower price would be charged.

Hence, the customer is helped to make the right decision, a lower price is paid and the system works satisfactorily.

You are very good at identifying problems, jfman, I'll give you that. You need to work a bit on how to solve those problems, though.
