Interesting article on theregister today, around ISPs and media
streaming (legal) by the BBC using its iPlayer software.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02/20/iplayer_isps_broke/

"In only its first month of service, iPlayer pushed up ISP costs by 200
per cent, from 6.1p per user to 18.3p per user"

Since Xmas I have noticed my BT unlimited broadband has become
increasingly slower and I live in the countryside where I expect
contention on the exchange is less :S (Though probably the kit isnt so
strong as a town exchange to start with?)

Wonder how this will shake out...
