Not sure on the answer but i thought the same thing.
In fact Time Warner offers me so many OnDemand channels now it's impossible
to watch a fraction every day.
Besides Movies from HBO, Showtime, TMC etc... they offer A&E, CNN,
FoodNetwork, Comedy Central you name it
everything OnDemand now. I don't know their limits but so far everything
runs pretty smoothly.
I wonder after every single customer goes digital, uses broadband and movies
over IP at the same time what will happen?
