Probably their network couldn't handle it

Were virgin the first to introduce traffic management?

Was smiling like an idiot yesterday on the train, streaming a 720 mkv from my home pc to my phone with zero buffering issues. The fact my sky home broadband upload speed is fast enough, stable enough and no limits/managements, along with unlimited data on Three mobile, meant I could stream without any loss of quality or transcoding. No data limits makes a huge difference. Could probably do the same with 1080 as the Galaxy S3 can handle it.

Not having to worry about traffic management or lowering video quality to keep within limits changes the user experience in such a positive way
