Default HD or BluRay?

Well here in Australia at least it would cost around $50
just for the privilege of down-loading that 20GB. And
definitely more than the cost of buying the disk!


Ouch!

If your high speed connections are free, then lucky you.


High speed internet is not free, but it is sold for a flat monthly rate.

"Comcast's Performance package you to cruise through the internet at speeds
up to 6 Mbps. Not fast enough? Comcast's Performance Plus high-speed package
can get you downloading at speeds up to 8 Mbps. Add Comcast PowerBoost to
either of these high speed internet Performance packages and kick your
connection speed up to 12 Mbps."

BTW, its not clear what PowerBoost actually is. They see, to be claiming
that when you are downloading big files, they temporarily up your data rate.

Download speed Upload speed Monthly rate
6Mbps 384kbps $42.95
8Mbps 768kbps $52.95


Anyway I certainly hope those "bigger pipes" are not just
clogged up with people downloading HD movies, but you are
right, once they can, they will.


That's what's happening here.
