not even reliable, we have USB DVB-C/T/ATSC/ISDB-T devices which
support exactly 60 MBit, the transfer mode is switchable between
ISOC and BULK, we finally managed to get those devices work by
enabling hardware PID filtering.
45mbit already caused some issues with it, HDTV (720p) usually
requeris around 15 mbit (one channel) which works
well with our devices. Isochronous used to hang up for no reason (the
usb host controller/driver was(is?) quite unstable as well
with isochronous and higher data rates)
However Bulk works fine with around 4.5 mbyte/sec
