    Default Mbps

    I have been considering getting a Buzz for awhile now but I am concerned about my internet speed. I have done some searching and reading threads here and it seems like I might be ok. My speed tests are in the 6 -8 Mbps range. I live a mile from nowhere and this is the fastest service I can get.

    Can I have some opinions from you guys whether or not I should take the plunge into IPTV? I don't want to be buffering every minute.

    I have unlimited data but I was thinking they may throttle if I start using too much. My IKS boxes are on 7/24 but I suppose an IPTV box should be off when not watching? How much data would it use in 24 hrs?

    you should be able to check how much data you use per month

    Yes, I can. I was just wondering if you had an idea of the average data usage.

    As long as your box is not on and streaming, no data used less you are pulling something,

    I am a lite user, couple hours a day, longer on weekends, use 300 - 350 gb a month, highest I have got to is pushing 600gb but I had quite a few things going on at the time, lol,

    Depends on provider and rate etc, HD, SD etc, but I believe most service pull from same source, so should be no big difference,

    This is just iptv for me,

    So if you are using 300g at a couple hours a day that would mean you average 5 to 10g per day.

    My tv is usually on all day (16 hours) whether we are watching or not. That would make my usage near 150g per day or 4,500g per month. OUCH!!
    Surely I would get throttled - or cancelled for using that much data.

    And I should say that I have a couple services running on multiple devices from same ISP, its a sickness, lol, but from what I can gather,

    I havent benchmarked this:


    HD channel - 1.44GB per hour

    SD channel - 842MB per hour

    Not sure this will help calculate, but found this:

    Code:
    http://www.techex.co.uk/streaming-calculator
    Code:
    https://www.att.com/esupport/data-calculator/index.jsp
    Maybe will help,

    Varies ISP to ISP. A client had 10mbps service and his wife and him used their iPads to stream, surf.
    Their son came home from college on weekends and then everyone suffered.
    Middle of the month they had trouble loading web pages and Netflix pixelated badly.
    I found they had capped their data mid month for the past year.
    Upgraded them to 50mbps after the ISP wiped their old account, problems solved.
    Showed them how to monitor their data on a DD-WRT flashed router I set them up with.
    And saved them 30 samolians a month to boot.
