That is on Residential service, mostly Sling & Netflix. When I was on Centurylink's Prism IPTV product (which is great BTW (besides pricing), best linear TV experience out there, instant channel switching and live view of the last 5 channels you watched) we would regularly use in excess of 15TB as the IPTV traffic was constant unless you turned the STB off on each TV.
- voltagex_ 8y agoRight, I mustn't have been thinking properly - that's only about 36 megabits per second sustained. If that's multicast or from a local-ish node (which IPTV probably is), it's nothing.
- StudentStuff 8y agoWell, it was UDP Multicast when we were with Centurylink's IPTV, but now all that bandwidth has to transit an IX or transit provider. Speaking of UDP Multicast, PFSense dropped all support for it without warning before updating, which was the end of me using PFSense at home as it broke TV until I could replace it with OpenWRT.
