I discussed this with them a couple of years back - not because I find it an issue so much [as being local I can just use the clips as a guide to what to listen to in the shop :-) ] but just chatting really and although I guess that means it was 8 year old rather than 10 and maybe they need to think about moving up a notch or so now (as the last 2 years has seen a major increase in broadband in the UK) the answer is basically yes - they found that that quality was the best compromise in terms of reaching a balance between people complaining about the lack of quality and people complaining that it was too much and their systems couldn't cope!
