Watch Cable and Network shows just like you do know when you sit down on your couch.Zero Bandwidth caps because it's not streaming video it's live from the Network. Would that be cool or what!!! ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22071346 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 08:07:26 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21721422 anon : I too dislike the argument about this as it is too shallow. There are caps on the IntErnet not IntRAnet and one stream per channels as you state.

One could argue that traffic that never has to leave the network although it's destination is public should also not count towards the cap (AT&T customer to AT&T customer) however the one downfall would be complexity.

I don't think it would take too much to allow the 360 to work as from what I can see of media room it seems to have a great relationship with Media Center and extenders which that is exactly what a 360 is. With that being said I do hope this happens, happens, soon and that we get Media Sharing soon since they are are taking away flickr pro accounts.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21721422 Sun, 11 Jan 2009 12:26:17 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21721027 MyDogHsFleas : As I've pointed out many times in these forums, comparing U-verse TV to streaming video over the Internet to your PC, and then crying foul because there are bandwidth caps coming on the streaming video but not on the TV stream, is a complete non sequitur.

When you make this comparison, you are either simply not paying attention to the facts involved, or you are deliberately ignoring them for the sake of promulgating an inane anti-AT&T conspiracy theory.

Why? It's simple. With U-verse IPTV, one video channel essentially equals one single video stream on the network, FOR ALL USERS. So if there are 50,000 users watching a show, there's only ONE STREAM ON THE BACKBONE.

By contrast, if those same 50,000 users are watching streaming video from a server to their PC, that's 50,000 SEPARATE VIDEO STREAMS ON THE BACKBONE.

So, the statement "They are going to cap my Internet, that's anti-competitive, they just want me to use their TV service instead of streaming/downloaded video on my PC!" turns out to be completely unsupportable crap. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21721027 Sun, 11 Jan 2009 10:57:16 EDT
