That is why ntl say you have to have the 600k or 1 meg bb service to receive the streams as the 150k won't be up to the job.
But I thought broadband was about the width of the road, not the speed you could drive on it? Ultimately all data travels at the speed of light. My understanding was that there is a direct relationship between the quality of a stream and the bandwidth available to deliver it?
