XBox and Sky Player

How much bandwidth does Sky Player use on the XBox 360

If I was to watch say a day play in the test match will that exceed my usage allowance and my speed cut by 75%

What package are you on? It should'nt use up all of your allowance. An hours worth of sd video would use about 700MB where as hd would be about double.

Re: XBox and Sky Player

You should be fine i think you are allowed 7gigs between 10am and 3pm and 3.5 gigs between 4pm to 9pm these will reset every day and outside of these times there is no usage limit But even if you happen to be throttled you should still be able to watch video as you will have 5 meg Source

Re: XBox and Sky Player

Don't forget you get 1.4Gb upload usage between 3-8pm before your throttled., you should be fine on the upload tho as it uses minimal upload.
