Just to add another data point.

This is Telecom VDSL.

I was watching a show last night on my Sony BD player and it didn't climb much above 480P according to the display.

But when I switched to my PS3 it went up 1080P and hovered between 720P and 1080P on the same show. So perhaps the device has some bearing on the PQ also?

Well I am using a Sony BDP S390 player which is not in that list. But I have seen 720P and 1080P from it so there must be other factors at play here.
