It's not 1xV6 = 1x100Mbps.
It's 1x100Mbit (or higher) for any V6 boxes an account has.

The V6 uses the home network connection for everything that isn't broadcast TV or broadcast VoD. That includes streaming iPlayer, YouTube and Netflix, and all connecting all the other apps.
But then the current TiVos also use a broadband connection for doing those - they just happen to have their own seperate one.
So everytime a new TiVo is set up, a new broadband device is added to the local area - and that definately could be seen as 1x10Mbps per TiVo.
