It's interesting to me that the cable companies who at present have some of the fastest available consumer broadband speeds are actually shooting themselves in the foot by giving the bandwidth to cable modems, but at the same time running out of space for their tv programming.
Here's a decent article talking about HD and the complaints from it's customers. Notice the amount of bandwidth to deliver some HD channels. snip/ For example, Discovery's bit rate was 14.16 megabits per second on Verizon's FiOS system but only 10.43 Mbps on Comcast; A&E HD was 18.66 Mbps on FiOS compared with 14.48 Mbps on Comcast. The FiOS system didn't offer Sci Fi HD, which Fowler's testing showed at 12.59 Mbps on Comcast. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080421/ap_on_hi_te/compressed_hd;_ylt=AuEPJDRe3CN7TvgY1hhBuN0jtBAF -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
