ihavetaknow @comcast.net	reply to IPPlanMan Re: Only for bundles? i wonder how much bandwidth a tv digital tv subsciber is using they they watched 24x7x30 free hd on demand programs. that is they use bandwidth that others cannot share. they are watching their own channel... if we did the math is comcast favoring cable tv customers over internet users. for example how much bandwidth is used up by a 2 hr hd 1080p movie...??? when i googled i got regular DVD runs at about 6-8Mbps netfix hd is 8-10Mbps, so its not really hd near hd is about 20Mbps (experimental not available for streaming over web) blueray hd is about 54Mbps-72Mbps (not available for streaming over web) so lets take the 8-10Mbps and multiply it out for a month and see how much bandwidth cable tv people can use. keep in minnd when comcast customer pay for tv they are not using up bandwidth, comcast also has to pay for the content. the show/movie they are watching... i'm not deducting that from the bill. for the lowest 6Mbps: 30 day / month = 750.00 KB/s = 732.42 KiB/s = 45.00 MB/min = 6.00 Mbps = 2.70 GB/h - K M G bps: 6.00 Mbps B/s: 750.00 KB/s 0.75 MB/s B/min: 45.00 MB/min 0.05 GB/min iB/s: 732.42 KiB/s 0.72 MiB/s K M G T B/hr: 2.70 GB/h B/day: 64.80 GB/d 0.06 TB/d B/mon: 1.94 TB/m »web.forret.com/tools/bandwidth.a···nit=Mbps Day Week Month Year 6 Mbps = 64.8 GB 453.6 GB 1.94 TB 23.33 TB »blog.neds.com/blog/tabid/51329/b···art.aspx wow i'm being ripped, taken for a ride, I pay $62.95/m for internet than digital starter is $60.60/m. ok there is also $42.95/m for internet, 15MBps which would work. They get 1.94TB/month and I only get 256GB/month, plus comcast has to pay for what they watch and they dont have to pay for the websites i go to.. where is the government... know i know that comcast has to pay someone when it leaves their network, but they also get credits for traffic that they carry for others. i guess to be totally fair we have to estimate and calculate that, but the numbers are shocking. FCC/FTC take that. so lets do some more math taking the $42.95/m for internet vs $60.60/m for digital started 1.94TB = 1940GB $0.17/gb for internet user $0.03/gb for tv users. now i want to cry for my mommy. please correct me if im wrong, if my math is wrong. or if you have better number enlighten us...

Transmitted HDTV is encoded as an MPEG2 Transport Stream while Netflix and many others use MPEG4 because it offers higher efficiency. So while a 1080i program over the air uses 16M bits/sec the same quality could be broadcast via MPEG4 at something like 4-8M bits/sec.
