Hi,

Just had a chat with VM about cancelling my service because of the P2P traffic "management" that is ruining online gaming especially if you are host.
Anyways, I was completely surprised when after I told them I thought I was a low b/w user she told me I had uploaded 30GB this month.
AFAIK although I use iplayer on my DVD player and watch youtube vids a fair bit i dont upload anything.
I always imaginged that playing online used minimal b/w but black ops has theatre mode and I wondered if maintaining/uploading your games (autmatically i mean) uses a lot.

Thanks

Theatre mode doesn't actually upload videos just the raw data the videos are then rendered by the Treyarch servers.

I'm trying to get a BT install just for gaming but it's proving a little difficult they seem to be just as useless as VM. But at least I'm getting to hear a Geordie accent when I'm on the phone to them :tu: :)
