Sorry but 1080p is already 1.6Gbps and that is how media industry express it.

What speed do you think DV25 is?

MB means nothing

MB/sec means something when talking about a transfer rate

As soon as Apple is mentioned smug types from the tekkie crowd crow and crow, with their mangled life which is full of avoidable computer hassle. But who's making money, in the recession, hand over first while others are severely struggling.

Not so funny now is it, when you can't see the woods for the trees. People don't like overcomplicated routes to their destination, so this one must change.

This is not an international issue, its one which will begin in the UK, if possible, and then spread. That is my line anyway.

And its something which is regulated in every country anyway, advertising standards are such that they differ everywhere. So, here in the UK we could enforce our ISPs to show speeds in MB without request to any other country.

Who would be first to start advertising 4M instead of 30M? It's a numbers game and the biggest number wins.
