[/quote]It was the development of "broadband" cable, capable of supporting a 750MHz+ bandwidth and served by a fibre-optic backbone that took cable TV forward in the mid-nineties. By then, consolidation was the key, with the first major acquisition being the American company International CableTel purchasing Insight Communications along with franchise-holders in South Wales and other regions. 1994 was a big build year for the industry, as it sought to cover as many homes as possible in order to rival satellite provider Sky.[/quote]

Spell that with a small 'b' and I would agree.

But I wasn't talking about digital TV.

Slightly wrong, the is a siamese twin cable coming into your property, one side is for broadband with digital television piggybacked on to it, the other smaller cable is for your phoneline.
