Anytime+ will function perfectly well even at your lowest speed , I receive 9mb through Sky Unlimited BB and Anytime+ HD content is generally available to play within 30-45 seconds.

What experiences you don't have any of Sky
He has to receive within that guideline or he can cancel , his line can obviously cope with the minimum 9mb , my estimate was 5-11mb I get 9mb.
