I could probably argue if you can stream YouTube even in potato vision then you can sustain a TV stream.

Anyway according to this:
labs.thinkbroadband.com 

98% of UK homes have access to " superfast internet" of some sort even if its only 10Mbps.

If we're going to keep catering to the lowest common denominator and holding things up for the last man standing to shift his arse, we'd still be watching 405 line TV in black and white and discussing the latest tweak to the Batwings.

Even before we got FTTC broadband in our village about eight years ago, we only used to get about 4Mbps, and yet we could still happily stream in HD without a problem.
