UK illegal sports streaming arrest

[dfdream]

It will be all streaming at some stage...
The likes of netflix will be the norm.
The like of sly add no value to the product for the customer except inflate the price.
Its still the same sport you watched 30 years ago but the price has rocketed up.
Look at yesterday nearly £1bn spent in transfers in premiership to kick a ball around..
Mad....

With VDSL it is possible to get 100Mb upload if you pay for it. My home broadband has 70Mb down and 20Mb up and that is a standard household sub. A business sub could be configured for higher upload. I would imagine that we will see more of these streaming services in the future. The phone companies are all moving into "triple play" or "quadruple play" - phone, internet, TV, mobile deals at this stage, supported by the roll out of fibre to the cabinet or fibre to the home (FTTC, FTTH). eircom, the Irish "national" phone line provider has rolled out FTTC and is busy flogging streaming TV services including HD to the home - all delivered over the existing twisted pair copper from the cabinets to the house.

Agree, CardSharing in HD may well have been shut down by Sky but this has put iptv (streaming) on the map as an alternative.

As fat-tony said earlier, there are some major investments in the Irish market with ESB and Vodafone looking to provide 100% fibre-to-the-building broadband network offering speeds from 200 Mbps to 1000 Mbps, and hoping to have it completed by 2018. That entry speed of 200Mbps is for up and down, If someone has a minimum of 200 Mbps upload, IPTV could stream 4k UHD TV with no buffering and crystal clear pictures.
