Slingbox
I have to (due to living in a restricted building area) use a Slingbox streaming (VM upline) Sky+ to my flat (on BT down-line) on the other side of London, so initially I am happy that my up speed will increase from 700K to 2MB!
I wonder how VM see the data coming from my SlingBox, I doubt its P2P, more lilely HTTP (encrypted) but the upload caps might now work out to be a little awkward. I have worked out the SlingBox would only broadcast for 30ish minutes before reaching the 3gig cap (at 2mbs). If I understand this correctly does that mean that the 75% cap would then reduce my upstream to 500kb after this until (between for example 3.30 - 8pm?)....
I might have to upgrade to the 50mbit line PURELY for the upload speed to keep a watchable connection when the 65% cap is put in place!!
Anyone else using a SlingBox with VM?
