Re: NTL Broadband Plus

Okay, so I used the VideoZone on Broadband plus and despite having a 600k connection the Britney Spears Video (and other's too) Everytime kept stuttering and stalling like Gareth Gates with a bad hair day! Incidently I also use the VideoZone on Realplayer Plus and it's fine on there. I notice that the Video Songs are encoded at a 600kbps bit rate on NTL but only a 250Kbps rate on Realplayer. Hence why NTL's VidZone keeps stalling because I haven't got enough bandwidth from my 600k connection. NTL keep saying though that Broadband Plus is suitable for 600K to 1MB connections. So what are they playing at, encoded Video's at too high a bit rate, I can't downstream them!!!
