Sounds good, Dave.
But, I suspect that they're only using a very small portion of the bandwidth
into your home to deliver TV, since they're only sending the cchannel(s)
that you're actually watching at any moment.
I was just pondering the other day how I might offer a service that analyzes
-- for a fee -- ATSC transport streams in real-time. "All" I need is a 20+
mb/sec pipe into my apartment; the most my cable company offers is the
equivalent of E0 service (2.0 mb/sec.)
But, a 45 mb/s FIOS connection would handle it.

We recently had Verizon Fios installed, replacing our DirecTV system.
The improvement in image quality is nothing short of remarkable. Fios
is fiber to the house, so they have tons of bandwidth, and they are
using it.
