100Mbps is a way off for the cable companies, I believe - if Telewest's infrastructure is anything like NTL's.
100Mbps is the speed that's generally seen as the 'optimum' mark to reach - you can watch high definition TV channels, stream high quality audio, download, game, and everything else over the home network without really worrying about how much bandwidth you have left. With a few people watching HD video and downloading files on your network, the pipe would soon start to fill up.
