The point is though if you are downloading at 10Mbit you are gonna need alot more upstream to be able to communicate with wherever you are getting the data from? Am I right in thinking this?
Oh and one last thing.....
What is 10Mbit in KB/s?? 1,100KB/s??

Why should NTL provide free bandwidth for you to download a rental video that they get no income from? They could however provide the same video with the only charge to you being for the bandwidth used to get it to you with all the profit going to NTL rather than a third party.
The amount of upstream required depends on the protocol being used. UDP and RTP would require less upstream bandwidth than TCP.
