Red Button?!

Does anyone know why Telewest's Red button on BBC is infinately slower than the red button on BBC through Freeview? Surely their fibre optic cables should run the feed at least at the same speed as an aerial? At times you push the red button and you get "please wait" for ages before the cable box just gives up responding!

I have family on ntl, and by all accounts their red button feed is even worse, so I guess we shouldn't complain as once the merger goes through Telewest will probably drop to ntl's performance
