If you were to stream hdtv over the internet, then yes you probably would need 200mb. But, for downloading a 45 minute-ish tv hdtv show of about 10GB, a hundred MB connection would make a huge diffrence. Forget hdtv, a standard 350MB tv show or 700mb film would download a lot faster using a 100mb connection, obviously, as would anything. Video conferencing, video calls, CATV, all would need faster connections than presently offered.
I think by the end of the year, ntl will offer a super fast internet/iptv service to customers. If they don't, they will lose all the revenue to piracy.
